About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480SH
The AirTAC SC100X480SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 480 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480SH Is Used
Hot Press & Molding
Viton seals withstand 0–150 °C, making this cylinder ideal for clamping and ejecting parts in heated platen presses, thermoforming, or composite curing molds.
Heavy Part Transfer
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it reliably shifts heavy pallets or castings between conveyor stations over a 480 mm stroke.
Sensor-Monitored Assembly
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm full extension and retraction, ensuring quality control in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard plant pressure; stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption if the load is lighter. For strokes of 480 mm, verify that side loads are minimal or use an external guide rail—the 25 mm rod is robust but can bend under significant off-axis force.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material. This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod unit, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is dimensionally shorter and not interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts.
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 SC100X480SH 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 SC100 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve, a mechanical rod lock, or an external brake.
