About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X850TC
The AirTAC SC100X850TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and an 850 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a centre trunnion (TC) mounting. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke, while at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the extending thrust reaches 7068 N. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage end-of-stroke deceleration for this mid-to-long stroke actuator.
This model is built with the standard TPU/NBR seal package for an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and uses PT (taper) port threads in the 1/2 inch size. The TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC100TC) allows the cylinder body to pivot, accommodating swinging or arcing loads without binding the rod. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 1038 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X850TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 850 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuate heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, while the centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Large Panel Tilters
With 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can tilt heavy fabricated panels or weldments. The TC mount provides the necessary pivot point for angular motion, and the adjustable cushion protects the assembly at stroke ends.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Ideal for remote actuation of chutes or hopper doors on harvesters and spreaders. The tie-rod construction is serviceable in the field, and the 29 mm cushion length absorbs impact from fast-moving, high-inertia loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X850TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard plant air pressure; if you can accept less force, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption. For strokes of 850 mm, always evaluate side-loading — a long, unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral force. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and piston seals, and ensure the trunnion pivot axis is perpendicular to the load plane.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount with TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X850TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) the cylinder pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf, though the recommended operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
Only if your application can accept a pivoting mount instead of a fixed foot mount. The cylinder body and stroke are the same, but the TC mount (F-SC100TC with TCM1 bracket) allows the cylinder to swing. If you need a rigid, surface-mounted installation, order the LB foot mount version instead. Always match bore, stroke, port thread, mounting style, and magnet option for a true drop-in replacement.
