About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5H
The SC100X5H is a short-stroke, double-acting pneumatic cylinder built for high-temperature environments where space is tight. Its 100 mm bore generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a compact powerhouse for clamping and ejecting.
This model is fitted with Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for reliable performance near ovens, autoclaves, or hot presses. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration, even with the minimal 5 mm travel.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5H Is Used
Hot Press Clamping
The 5 mm stroke and Viton seals suit high-temperature clamping in laminating or thermoforming presses, holding workpieces securely under heat.
Hot Stamping & Marking
Delivers a short, powerful thrust for foil stamping or branding irons operating at elevated temperatures up to 150 °C.
Autoclave Actuation
Withstands the high heat of autoclave sterilization cycles, making it suitable for actuating small mechanisms inside medical or lab equipment.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5H the Right Cylinder?
For a 5 mm stroke, this cylinder essentially acts as a pneumatic ram or clamp. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Ensure your directional valve and porting (PT1/2) can supply sufficient flow for rapid cycling. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and the Viton seal designation (H) to maintain high-temperature compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC100X5H FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N, and the theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is shorter and dimensionally different. Use only AirTAC F-SC100 series mounting accessories designed for this specific bore.
