About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85TC
The SC100X85TC 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 85 mm stroke suit medium-throw clamping and pressing tasks where a compact extended length is needed.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 ports provide standard pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot as it extends, ideal for actuating diverter gates on packaging and sortation conveyors.
Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces in machining and welding fixtures, with a cushioned stroke to reduce impact.
Press Mechanisms
Suitable for light pneumatic presses and riveting stations where the 85 mm stroke provides a short, powerful advance and the trunnion mount absorbs misalignment.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X85TC when your application requires a pivoting mount and roughly 4000 N of force at standard shop air. If you need higher force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa.
For replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 85 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the standard TPU seal. 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 SC100X85TC 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
