About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SH
The SC100X50SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, built for short-stroke clamping and ejecting tasks in high-temperature environments. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration, while the PT1/2 port supplies ample flow for rapid cycling.
This model carries the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C — ideal for autoclaves, foundries, or engine test cells where standard seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Clamping
Viton seals withstand 150 °C ambient, making this cylinder suitable for welding fixture clamps or holding parts in drying ovens where standard seals would fail.
Sensor-Monitored Ejection
The built-in magnet pairs with CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm part ejection on high-speed moulding or stamping lines, preventing die crashes.
Laboratory Press Actuation
Delivers a controlled 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa for small heated platen presses in materials testing, with full stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted reed switches.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure; stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N. For this 50 mm short stroke, side loading is seldom a concern, but always centre the load on the rod axis. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material — this model uses the basic mount configuration with no additional bracket.
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 SC100X50SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder produces 5497 N of push force. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. Pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod area.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (body A = 188 mm) than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder matching the stroke, port, magnet, and seal options.
