About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500H
The SC100X500H is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, equipped with a 100 mm bore and a 500 mm stroke. Its Viton (FKM) seals shift the operating temperature window to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade. At 0.5 MPa air pressure, this cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 rod-end thread and PT1/2 inlet ports. The adjustable air cushion is 29 mm long, helping to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke end. The body length (A) is 188 mm, giving an approximate total extended length of 688 mm. With a max standard stroke of 1500 mm for this bore, the 500 mm stroke is well within standard production range.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500H Is Used
High-Temperature Process Actuation
With Viton seals rated for 0–150 °C, the SC100X500H reliably operates valves, dampers, and gates in drying ovens, autoclaves, and foundry equipment where standard cylinders would fail.
Heavy Parts Clamping & Pressing
Delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder is ideal for clamping large weldments or pressing bearings and bushings in heated assembly fixtures.
Hot Material Sorting & Diverting
Use the 500 mm stroke to divert hot glass, ceramics, or metal parts on conveyor lines. The Viton seals maintain integrity even in proximity to radiant heat sources.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500H the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X500H when your application needs the 3927 N push force class of a 100 mm bore at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At a 500 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is robust, but always check for side loads—if the load is not guided, an external linear guide or a guided cylinder should be used to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. The H suffix specifies Viton seals for high-temperature use.

- ✓ 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 SC100X500H 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 with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT ports, basic mount, and Viton seals.
