The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X55TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X55TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 55 mm stroke suit short-throw clamping and pressing tasks where space is tight but force demand is high.
This model is configured with a TC centre trunnion mount (includes TCM1 bracket, order F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port ensure robust flow for rapid cycling. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the 55 mm stroke smoothly.

Delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa for compact clamping fixtures on assembly lines, where a 55 mm stroke is exactly the travel needed.
The TC trunnion mount lets the cylinder swing as it actuates a 55 mm throw diverter gate on a conveyor system.
Applies controlled 7068 N force at 0.9 MPa for short press-fit insertions in automated manufacturing cells.
The SC100X55TC suits applications needing a compact 55 mm stroke with high clamping force. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa). For longer strokes, consider the SC100 up to 1500 mm standard. The TC centre trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting loads; ensure the TCM1 bracket is correctly sized for your pivot pin. When replacing, match bore (100 mm), stroke (55 mm), PT1/2 port thread, TC mount, and note this unit does not include a magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx 5 bar), the push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 7068 N. The pull force on retract is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 25 mm rod area.
The TC mount includes the trunnion body on the cylinder, but it is designed to pivot in the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TCM1). You must use the matching bracket for proper support; mounting the trunnion directly into an undersized hole can cause binding or damage.
