About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170TC
The AirTAC SC100X170TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm piston rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate end-of-stroke impact.
This unit is configured with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot for swinging or articulating loads. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 358 mm. Standard PT1/2 ports and TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C complete the build.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and centre trunnion pivot make this cylinder suitable for actuating diverter gates on medium-duty conveyor systems, where the cylinder body can swing as the gate moves through its arc.
Clamping & Fixturing
With 7068 N of clamping force available at 0.9 MPa, the SC100X170TC can securely hold workpieces in machining or welding fixtures. The adjustable cushion ensures smooth, low-impact engagement.
Process Valve Actuation
The robust 25 mm rod and trunnion mount allow this cylinder to operate quarter-turn ball or butterfly valves, handling the torque requirements with a compact, pivoting pneumatic solution.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. The 170 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing this cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (with TCM1 bracket), and the absence of a magnet. The TC trunnion is ideal for pivoting applications but requires the load to be guided externally to prevent the rod from absorbing bending moments.
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 SC100X170TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
Yes, the TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket) can be fixed to a machine frame, allowing the cylinder body to pivot. If a completely rigid, non-pivoting mount is required, consider an LB foot mount or FA/FB flange mount variant instead.
