About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50TC
The SC100X50TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a compact 50 mm stroke, factory-supplied with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, rising to 7068 N push at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT 1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end of stroke. The TC mounting configuration includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (part code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to swing as the load articulates.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gate
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating a diverter flap on a packaging line. 3927 N push force easily shifts product cartons at 0.5 MPa.
Clamping Fixture Pivot
Used on a welding or assembly fixture where the clamp arm must swing clear. The TC mount absorbs the arc motion, and the 50 mm stroke provides a fast, decisive clamp action.
Hopper Door Actuator
Controls a discharge door on a bulk material hopper. The pivoting trunnion mount accommodates the door's rotational path, and the 100 mm bore supplies ample force to overcome sticky material.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push force at standard shop air. If you can accept a smaller envelope, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher force, step up to the SC125 bore at 6136 N. This 50 mm stroke is well within the standard range—no special stroke order is required.
For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT 1/2 ports, centre trunnion (TC) mount with TCM1 bracket, and confirm no magnet is needed (this code lacks the -S suffix). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X50TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the theoretical pushing force is 5497 N and the pulling force (rod side) is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. These values assume dynamic conditions; static theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
The TC suffix means the cylinder is supplied with the centre trunnion and the matching TCM1 trunnion bracket together. The accessory part code for the complete set is F-SC100TC. If you only need a replacement bracket, order TCM1 separately.
