About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SH
The SC100X30SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for short, high-force clamping or pressing tasks. Its 30 mm stroke keeps the overall length compact at approximately 218 mm (188 mm body length A plus stroke), while the 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback without external brackets. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for reliable performance in hot or chemically aggressive environments.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SH Is Used
Hot Press Clamping
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa and Viton seals rated to 150°C make this cylinder ideal for short-stroke clamping in heated laminating or thermoforming presses.
Sensor-Controlled Ejection
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm full rod extension and retraction on a 30 mm stroke, perfect for high-speed part ejection with cycle verification.
Sterilizable Actuation
With FKM seals, this cylinder withstands washdown and high-temperature sterilization cycles, making it suitable for actuating valves or gates in pharmaceutical or food processing equipment.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X30SH for applications needing high force in a minimal stroke length. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) for reduced air consumption. For longer strokes, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT port thread, built-in magnet (-S), and the specific mounting accessory if used (this unit is basic mount).
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 SC100X30SH FAQ
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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 standards. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT ports, and magnet option.
