About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600SH
The SC100X600SH is a genuine AirTAC double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, pre-configured with a built-in magnet and high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals. Operating on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a workhorse for medium-to-heavy linear actuation.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the 600 mm stroke. The -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing, while the -H seal package extends the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, suitable for autoclaves, foundries, or engine-bay test rigs.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
The Viton seals withstand 0-150°C, making this cylinder ideal for actuating dampers, diverters, or clamps inside autoclaves, drying ovens, and steam-processing equipment.
Heavy Part Ejection
With 7068 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, it reliably ejects large injection-molded or die-cast parts from tooling, where magnetic sensors confirm full retraction before the next cycle.
Pallet Stop & Lift
Used in high-temperature warehouses or near shrink-wrap tunnels, the SC100X600SH lifts or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with sensor feedback ensuring safe, repeatable positioning.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you can accept less force, stepping down to an SC80 reduces the push to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and saves space with a 142 mm body length. For higher force demands, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. At 600 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is robust, but any significant side load requires an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing unit, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material (-H). This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.

- ✓ 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 SC100X600SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) the push force is 3927 N. At the common factory pressure of 0.7 MPa it rises to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. Pull force is slightly lower due to the rod area: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The SC100X600SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a lock or brake. For load-holding, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
