The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X65TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 65mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X65TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear tasks. With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a compact 65 mm stroke, this model is designed for applications where a short, powerful thrust is needed within a pivoting mechanism.
This variant is factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied complete with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. It features PT1/2 ports, an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end, and operates reliably with filtered air from -20 to +70 °C using its standard TPU seals.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is well-suited for actuating diverter gates on packaging or sorting conveyors, where the centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the gate swings.
Delivers a powerful, short-stroke clamping action for holding workpieces in CNC machining or robotic welding cells. The trunnion mount enables the cylinder to be integrated into compact, articulated fixture designs.
Provides reliable actuation for chute deflectors or hopper doors on farming equipment. The robust tie-rod construction and pivoting TC mount handle the dusty, high-vibration environment effectively.
For applications requiring a pivoting mount, the centre trunnion configuration of this SC100X65TC is ideal, as it allows the cylinder body to swing to follow an arc path. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher demands, a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Always ensure the trunnion pins are aligned and rigidly supported to prevent bending moments on the cylinder body.
When replacing this unit, match five key specifications: 100 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mount with its TCM1 bracket, and the optional magnet (which this model does not include). This tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC series unit of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the TC variant is specifically designed for a pivoting application using the supplied centre trunnion and TCM1 bracket. For a fixed, surface-mounted installation, you should select the basic model (no mounting suffix) or the LB foot mount variant, which provides axial mounting feet on the barrel.
