About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60TC
The SC100X60TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. It generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads.
This model includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (assembly F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to swing as the load articulates. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel. Ports are PT1/2, and the standard TPU seals cover a -20 to +70 °C operating range.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The SC100X60TC pivots on its trunnion to actuate diverter arms on packaging and sortation conveyors, handling the repetitive side loads with a robust 25 mm rod.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivers 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces in machining or welding cells, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to self-align during actuation.
Agricultural Implement Control
Controls chute doors or hopper gates on farming equipment. The centre trunnion absorbs angular movement, and the tie-rod construction handles dusty, high-vibration environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you can work with about 2513 N, stepping down to an SC80 reduces size and air consumption. For higher forces near 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, the SC125 is the next step up. This TC centre-trunnion variant is ideal for loads that must pivot; the cylinder body rotates on the trunnion pins, relieving bending stress on the rod.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and no magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.
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 SC100X60TC 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, the push force 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 overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The mounting dimensions and tie-rod spacing are different. For a direct replacement, use another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with the same TC centre trunnion mount and PT1/2 ports.
