About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X585SH
The SC100X585SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy industrial actuation. This 100 mm bore model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, ideal for high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X585SH Is Used
Hot Press & Molding Clamping
The Viton seals withstand 0–150 °C, making this cylinder ideal for actuating clamping mechanisms on heated platen presses, thermoforming molds, or autoclave doors where standard seals would fail.
Heavy Part Transfer & Lift
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and a 585 mm stroke, it reliably transfers or lifts heavy components between conveyor stations, assembly lines, or paint shop carriers in manufacturing.
Diverter Gate Actuation
The built-in magnet enables sensor-based end-of-stroke detection for high-speed diverter gates in material handling and logistics, ensuring packages are sorted accurately on conveyor systems.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X585SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider that the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the SC125 offers 6136 N at the same pressure. With a 585 mm stroke, ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads; long, unsupported strokes can cause rod bending or bearing wear. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present.
For drop-in replacement, match five key specifications: 100 mm bore, 585 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series cylinders with identical specifications.

- ✓ 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 SC100X585SH 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 SC100X585SH is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the end of stroke to reduce impact. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
