About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525TC
The SC100X525TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 525 mm stroke, it handles mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks where a pivoting mount is required.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm to decelerate the load smoothly. The TC suffix indicates it ships with a centre trunnion bracket (F-SC100TC + TCM1), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. Its body length A is 188 mm, with a total extended length of approximately 713 mm. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 525 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow this cylinder to pivot a diverter gate on a packaging or sorting conveyor, directing products between lanes with 3927 N of push force.
Clamp & Weld Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces in welding or assembly jigs, with the TC mount allowing the body to swing as the clamp engages.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates chute controls or hopper doors on harvesters and spreaders. The TPU seals handle -20 to +70 °C ambient temperatures, and the tie-rod design withstands dusty, high-vibration environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N and 7068 N of force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa in a more compact body. For heavier demands, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure.
For this 525 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loading. Long unsupported strokes can cause rod bending or bearing wear; use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing this cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 525 mm stroke, PT port thread, the TC centre trunnion mount (F-SC100TC), and the absence of a 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 SC100X525TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N (due to the 25 mm rod area). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC centre trunnion mount. Only the 125-250 bore sizes are classed as ISO 6430.
