About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X55STC
The AirTAC SC100X55STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder combining a 100 mm bore with a compact 55 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N of push force, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N, making it a strong mid-range actuator for pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clip directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. It also ships with the centre trunnion mount (TC) and the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot freely in a swinging application. The 25 mm piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth, controlled motion across its 55 mm working stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X55STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 55 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount let this cylinder pivot a diverter gate on a packaging or sorting conveyor, handling the 3927 N push needed to redirect parcels reliably.
Welding Fixture Clamps
With 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa and a built-in magnet for end-of-stroke confirmation, this cylinder secures heavy weldments in a pivoting clamp arm, ensuring consistent part alignment.
Process Valve Actuation
The SC100X55STC delivers the high thrust required to open and close large quarter-turn valves. The trunnion mount absorbs the actuator's reaction torque, while magnetic sensors confirm open/closed status.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X55STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X55STC when you need approximately 3927 N of push force at standard plant air. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and footprint. For heavier loads, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure.
This cylinder uses a centre trunnion pivot, ideal for applications where the cylinder body must swing through an arc. Always align the trunnion pins on the cylinder centreline and ensure the load is guided externally—side forces on the 25 mm rod will accelerate bearing wear. For direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, TC mount with TCM1 bracket, and the built-in magnet.

- ✓ 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 SC100X55STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. These values are based on the 100 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
Yes, provided the original is a 100 mm bore, 55 mm stroke tie-rod cylinder with PT1/2 ports, a centre trunnion (TC) mount, and a magnetic piston. The SC100X55STC includes the TCM1 bracket and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
