About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60STC
The SC100X60STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust actuator for short-stroke, high-force clamping or pressing tasks. Its 60 mm stroke, paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, provides a compact yet powerful linear motion solution.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC) including the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60STC Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa and short 60 mm stroke make this cylinder ideal for powerful, repetitive clamping of workpieces in welding or machining fixtures.
Press-Fit Assembly
Applies controlled, high force for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings. The adjustable cushion ensures a smooth stop without damaging delicate parts.
Part Rejection Gates
The trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it suitable for actuating high-speed diverter gates on conveyor lines where a firm, fast push is required.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60STC the Right Cylinder?
With a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, the SC100 bore suits heavy pressing, bending, or lifting applications. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at the same pressure, potentially lowering air consumption. For higher force demands, consider the SC125 bore.
This short 60 mm stroke operates well within standard limits, but ensure side loads are minimal. For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X60STC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same stroke, PT ports, TC trunnion mount, and magnet option.
