About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470SH
The SC100X470SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. Its 470 mm stroke suits medium-reach material handling, pressing, and clamping tasks where high force and heat resistance are required. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for rod-position feedback.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the load smoothly at stroke end. The 'H' suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot environments. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 658 mm. As a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, it is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile, so replacement is limited to matching another SC series unit of the same bore, stroke, port, and magnet configuration.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470SH Is Used
Hot Press & Clamping
Viton seals enable reliable operation in 0–150 °C environments, such as heated platen presses, laminating machines, and foundry clamping fixtures.
High-Force Part Transfer
The 470 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa handle heavy part pushers, lift-and-carry transfers, and pallet stops on automotive or steel mill conveyors.
Sensor-Monitored Assembly
The built-in magnet works with CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm end-of-stroke position in automated assembly cells, preventing incomplete cycles on critical joining operations.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore for applications needing 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires less force, step down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) for a smaller footprint and lower air consumption. For higher force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. This 470 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
At this stroke length, avoid direct side loading on the 25 mm rod, which can cause bearing wear and rod bending. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant if the load is not axially aligned. For exact drop-in replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 470 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting style.

- ✓ 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 SC100X470SH FAQ
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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X470SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it does not lock or hold the load. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
