The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC125X400STCL is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 400mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X400STC is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion are engineered for smooth deceleration of large inertial loads, making this 400 mm stroke unit a workhorse for demanding linear automation.
This model is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the centre trunnion mount (-TC) with the included TCM1 bracket (F-SC125TC) allows the cylinder to pivot freely under load. The ISO 6430 class body length A is 203 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 603 mm.

The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily shifts loaded pallets in material handling lines, with the trunnion mount absorbing misalignment during transfer.
Delivers up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa for secure part clamping or light forming operations, with magnetic sensors confirming full extension and retraction.
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, making it ideal for actuating diverter gates on high-throughput conveyor systems.
Choose the SC125 when your application needs between 6136 N and 11045 N of push force. If you can accept a smaller envelope, stepping down to the SC100 bore reduces push force to 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC160 bore increases it to 10053 N. For this 400 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to direct side loading; use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if bending moments are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 125 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 6136 N and pull force is 5734 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The SC125 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
