The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X115SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 115mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X115SH 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 115 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and Viton (FKM) seals (-H suffix) that shift the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, ideal for hot or aggressive environments. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke to reduce impact, while the tie-rod construction keeps the body length A compact at 188 mm.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
The Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in high-temperature clamping and pressing fixtures up to 150 °C, where standard seals would degrade.
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it powerfully ejects heavy castings or fabricated parts from conveyor lines, and the magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke confirmation.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel, providing precise position feedback for automated gate or diverter mechanisms.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 2500 N and 7000 N at standard shop air pressures. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore saves air and space (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa). For heavier loads, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N push at the same pressure. The 115 mm stroke is a standard length, well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 115 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. Always verify that the M20x1.5 rod thread matches your tooling. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the rod from side-load bending.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
No. The SC100X115SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
