About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X540TC
The AirTAC SC100X540TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 100 mm bore and 540 mm stroke provide substantial linear thrust for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks, while the 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure robust, controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The body length A is 188 mm, and the standard PT1/2 port thread connects directly to common pneumatic circuits. As a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, it is engineered for reliable, high-cycle service in demanding automation environments.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X540TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 540 mm stroke and pivoting TC mount suit actuating diverter gates or flippers on wide conveyor lines, handling the 3927 N push force to redirect packages or bulk materials.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Delivers 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for heavy weldments. The centre trunnion allows the cylinder to self-align as the clamp arm swings into position.
Agricultural Implement Control
Operates chute deflectors or hopper doors on harvesters and spreaders. The tie-rod construction and adjustable cushion handle dusty, high-vibration conditions reliably.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X540TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa in a lighter, more compact package. For higher continuous thrust, the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
At 540 mm stroke, the rod is extended significantly. Ensure side loads are minimal or use an external linear guide to protect the rod bearing and seals from bending stress. For direct replacement, match bore (100 mm), stroke (540 mm), centre trunnion mount (TC with TCM1 bracket), PT1/2 port thread, and the absence of a magnet sensor option. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.

- ✓ 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 SC100X540TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf (approx. 7850 N push).
No. The SC100X540TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock.
