About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X430STC
The SC100X430STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 430 mm stroke. This configuration generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and can reach up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a powerful actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This specific model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket for pivoting applications. It features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 port threads, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the load smoothly at the end of its 430 mm travel.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X430STC Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Operates diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably redirect packages or bulk materials with the 430 mm stroke.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Provides consistent, high-force clamping in robotic welding cells. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, accommodating fixture articulation.
Agricultural Implement Control
Controls the angle of heavy tillage or seeding tools on farm machinery, where the trunnion mount handles the pivoting motion and the 7068 N max force manages high draft loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X430STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between 3927 N and 7068 N. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier loads, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
With a 430 mm stroke, ensure that any side loads are managed with external guides or linear bearings, as the unsupported 25 mm rod can be subject to bending moments. When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 430 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC100TC bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.

- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X430STC FAQ
The theoretical push force is 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pull force on the return stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the rod area.
Yes, the TC suffix designates a centre trunnion mount, and AirTAC ships this cylinder with the matching TCM1 trunnion bracket (part code F-SC100TC) for immediate installation.
