About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1170SH
The SC100X1170SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a long 1170 mm stroke. This model generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy linear actuation tasks. It features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and a PT1/2 port for efficient air flow.
This unit is equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The 'H' suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, which shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, ideal for high-temperature environments where standard TPU seals would degrade. The total extended body length is approximately 1358 mm, with a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1170SH Is Used
High-Temperature Material Handling
With Viton seals rated for 0 to +150 °C, this cylinder reliably actuates gates, diverters, or pushers in ovens, autoclaves, and foundry lines where standard seals would fail.
Long-Stroke Pallet Transfer
The 1170 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa efficiently move heavy pallets or large components across transfer stations, with magnetic sensors confirming full extension and retraction.
Hot Press Actuation
Delivers up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing, clamping, or forming operations in heated industrial presses, where the Viton seals ensure long service life under continuous thermal stress.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1170SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if the 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, the 125 mm bore SC125 series offers 6136 N. Given the 1170 mm stroke, careful management of side loads is critical; an external guide system or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent bending stress on the 25 mm piston rod. To ensure a direct functional replacement, match five key specifications: the 100 mm bore, the 1170 mm stroke, the PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation.
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 SC100X1170SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical 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 shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is designed to replace another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, magnet, and Viton seals.
