About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90TC
The SC100X90TC is a 100 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 90 mm stroke, factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. It delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads.
This tie-rod cylinder uses PT1/2 ports and includes adjustable air cushioning with a 29 mm cushion length at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The TC mount ships with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot as the rod extends and retracts, which is ideal for swinging or articulating loads.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 90 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot as it actuates a diverter gate, sorting packages or materials on a conveyor line with 3927 N of force at standard plant pressure.
Clamping Fixtures
Delivers a strong, controlled clamping stroke in welding or machining fixtures. The TC mount lets the cylinder body swing to self-align with the clamp arm, reducing side load on the rod bearing.
Process Valve Actuation
Operates quarter-turn ball or butterfly valves via a scotch-yoke mechanism. The trunnion mount absorbs the reaction torque, and the 90 mm stroke provides the linear travel needed to rotate the valve 90 degrees.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application requires between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving air consumption and space. For higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder 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 SC100X90TC 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. Always size the cylinder using the pull force for retraction strokes.
Yes, the TC suffix means the cylinder is supplied with the TCM1 trunnion bracket pre-assembled. The complete mounting kit part code is F-SC100TC. The bracket can be positioned along the barrel body and locked in place, allowing you to fine-tune the pivot point.
