About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SH
The SC100X100SH is a 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) and high-temperature Viton seals (-H suffix), this model supports 0 to +150 °C operation and direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for rod position feedback. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of 288 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SH Is Used
Hot Press Clamping
The Viton seals handle 150°C ambient heat near platens, while the 7068 N max thrust locks tooling firmly during press cycles.
High-Temp Part Ejection
Withstands oven-discharge environments. The magnetic piston lets you verify full extension via a barrel-mounted sensor before the next cycle.
Autoclave Door Actuation
Viton seals resist steam and aggressive cleaning agents. The 100 mm stroke provides the linear travel needed to swing or slide a sterilization chamber door.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard shop air; for a lighter 2500 N load, step down to the SC80 bore. This 100 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm max standard stroke for bore 100, so it ships as a standard catalog item.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. 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 SC100X100SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect rod position without additional brackets.
