About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520TC
The AirTAC SC100X520TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and 520 mm stroke, it is equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount for pivoting applications, supplied complete with the TCM1 bracket.
This model features a 25 mm piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. The total extended body length is approximately 708 mm (188 mm body length A plus 520 mm stroke). Adjustable air cushioning decelerates the piston across a 29 mm cushion length, protecting end caps during high-speed operation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Pivoting gate arms on wide conveyor lines use the centre trunnion mount for smooth swinging motion, handling heavy parcels with the cylinder's 3927 N push force.
Clamping Fixtures
Heavy-duty weldment clamping on automotive assembly jigs, where the TC mount allows the cylinder body to pivot as the clamp arm engages and disengages.
Material Handling Tilters
Actuating tilt mechanisms on large parts bins or hoppers. The 520 mm stroke provides the necessary angular displacement, while the trunnion absorbs the arc motion.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application requires a push force around 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure. For higher force requirements, step up to the SC125 bore offering 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
For this 520 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present; long unsupported strokes on a 25 mm rod can experience bending moments. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 520 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, TC centre trunnion mounting (with F-SC100TC bracket), and no magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ 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 SC100X520TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, the 'TC' suffix indicates a centre trunnion mount, which ships with the TCM1 trunnion bracket included. The complete mounting accessory code is F-SC100TC. The cylinder body pivots on this bracket to accommodate angular motion.
