About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900TC
The SC100X900TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a substantial 900 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring a long, powerful linear movement. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage high kinetic energy during the stroke.
This specific configuration includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. It features the standard PT 1/2 port thread and TPU seals for a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The total body length is 188 mm, making the extended length approximately 1088 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900TC Is Used
Long-Stroke Part Transfer
Moves heavy components or pallets 900 mm across a conveyor junction or between workstations, where the trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot and follow the load path.
Press-Feed Ejection
Provides a powerful, extended push stroke to eject large formed parts from a press or mould, with the adjustable cushion absorbing the impact energy of the heavy tooling.
Grain Chute Diverter
Actuates a large diverter gate in an agricultural handling system, using the trunnion mount for smooth angular motion and the high force to shift heavy material flows.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application requires a force class around 4000 N at standard plant pressure. For a lighter load, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 125 mm bore increases it to 6136 N. For this 900 mm stroke, side-load management is critical; the unsupported rod can bend under lateral force, so an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To ensure a correct replacement for an existing cylinder, match five key points: the 100 mm bore, the 900 mm stroke, the PT 1/2 port thread, the centre trunnion (TC) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.

- ✓ 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 SC100X900TC FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The return pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N due to the area of the 25 mm rod.
A 900 mm stroke with an unsupported rod is highly susceptible to bending and seal wear from side loads. You must install an external linear guide, a rod support, or use a flexible coupling to ensure the load is purely axial. The cylinder's air cushion only decelerates the piston at the stroke end and does not provide any load-bearing or guiding function.
