About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510SH
The AirTAC SC100X510SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 510 mm stroke, combining substantial force with high-temperature resilience. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling, scaling up to a robust 7068 N push force at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This model is configured with Viton (FKM) seals (-H suffix), shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide dependable deceleration for the 510 mm stroke. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 698 mm, and the PT1/2 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510SH Is Used
High-Temperature Foundry Gate
The 0-150°C Viton seals and 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa allow this cylinder to reliably operate a sliding gate or damper near furnaces, ovens, or autoclaves where standard seals would fail.
Hot Press & Molding Clamp
Delivers a consistent 3927 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for heated platen presses in composite or rubber molding. The magnet enables sensor confirmation of full clamp closure before a cycle starts.
Heat-Treat Conveyor Stop
With a 510 mm stroke, the SC100X510SH can extend across a wide conveyor to stop or divert hot parts exiting a heat-treatment line, withstanding the ambient radiant heat thanks to its FKM seal package.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs around 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure; for roughly 2513 N, step down to the SC80 bore. The 510 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. For strokes of this length, avoid direct side loading on the 25 mm rod—use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 100 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and Viton seals for high-temperature compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC100X510SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force at the same pressure is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod cross-section. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
No. The SC100X510SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical lock.
