The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X80TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X80TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke, factory-assembled with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 3927 N of push force, placing it in the 4 kN class for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps and reducing noise. The TC mount includes the TCM1 bracket (order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to swing as the load articulates.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily shifts diverter gates or flaps on medium-duty package-handling conveyors, and the trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for CNC fixtures or welding jigs. The 80 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading, while the adjustable cushion prevents impact marks on delicate workpieces.
Suited for chute controls or linkage actuation on farm machinery where the cylinder must pivot. The TPU seals handle dusty, damp environments within the standard -20 to +70 °C range.
Choose the SC100 when 80 mm bore cylinders (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lack the force margin your application needs. If you require more thrust still, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. For this 80 mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but always align the rod axis with the load path to protect the rod bearing.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: push force is 3927 N, pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X80TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load-holding, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
