The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X220SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 220mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X220SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 220 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This specific model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and Viton (FKM) seals (-H) that shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, ideal for hot environments. The total extended body length is approximately 408 mm, combining the 188 mm head-to-cap dimension with the 220 mm stroke.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Viton seals allow reliable operation in ovens, autoclaves, and foundry equipment up to 150 °C, where standard seals would degrade.
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder easily diverts or stops heavy packages and pallets on high-throughput conveyor lines.
The 7068 N max force at 0.9 MPa provides ample clamping power for CNC machining fixtures and assembly presses, with sensor feedback for cycle confirmation.
Select the SC100 when your application needs a force step up from the SC80's 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, or down from the SC125's 6136 N. For this 220 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported, but always avoid direct side loads on the rod; use an external guide or linear bearing for off-axis forces. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 100 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature compatibility.
Quick checklist
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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X220SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
