About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100TC
The AirTAC SC100X100TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, supplied with a centre trunnion mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, rising to 7068 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 port connections. The adjustable air cushion at each end provides 29 mm of deceleration travel, and the cylinder body length A is 188 mm. The TC suffix indicates the centre trunnion bracket (F-SC100TC) is included, allowing the cylinder to swing during operation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyors, while the centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Clamping & Pressing Fixtures
With 7068 N of clamping force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits heavy-duty welding jigs and assembly presses. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from impact shock at end-of-stroke.
Swinging Load Transfer
The TC trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it suitable for tilting bins, hoppers, or transfer arms where the rod end follows a curved path and the cylinder body must oscillate.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when a 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa) is undersized but a 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive. The centre trunnion mount makes this cylinder ideal for loads that must pivot; ensure the trunnion axis is aligned with the load's pivot point to avoid binding.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and no magnet. This is not an ISO 15552 cylinder—it is a tie-rod design with a shorter body length, so it only interchanges with another AirTAC SC100 or an equivalent tie-rod cylinder of the same dimensions.
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 SC100X100TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the pushing force is 3927 N and pulling force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The SC100X100TC will only drop into a mounting designed for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT3/8 ports, and centre trunnion mount.
