The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X70STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X70STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 70 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore, making this a compact yet powerful unit for short-throw actuation.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (-TC suffix) with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC) for pivoting applications. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 ports handle high flow, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at end of stroke.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, while the trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large weldments or castings. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
The short 70 mm stroke provides a rapid, powerful push to index material into a stamping press. The centre trunnion allows the cylinder body to self-align during the feed cycle.
Select the SC100 when your load requires roughly 4000 N at standard plant pressure. If your force need is closer to 2500 N, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes over 300 mm on this bore, consider an external guide to protect the 25 mm rod from bending under side load.
For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This ensures a drop-in fit for another AirTAC SC series cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), 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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X70STC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
