About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560TC
The SC100X560TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 560 mm stroke, supplied with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the 560 mm stroke, protecting end caps from impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 748 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The 560 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot as it extends, pushing products off a main conveyor line onto a spur. The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy packages reliably.
Clamp & Fixture Actuation
Delivers consistent clamping force for large weld fixtures or assembly jigs. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by softening the clamp's approach, while the trunnion mount accommodates the fixture's swing arc.
Grain Chute Positioning
Controls a pivoting discharge chute on a silo or hopper. The SC100X560TC provides the long travel and high push force needed to move a heavy, material-laden chute, with the TC mount handling the rotational movement.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs around 3900 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you can step down to roughly 2500 N, the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) offers a lighter, more compact package. For strokes of 560 mm, always check side-load conditions: a 25 mm rod extending this far can bend under off-axis loads. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if side forces are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion mounting (F-SC100TC bracket included), and no magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod design, shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders, so it is not a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement.
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 SC100X560TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the cylinder delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X560TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
