About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SH
The AirTAC SC100X800SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With an 800 mm stroke and a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod, this actuator is built for demanding linear motion tasks that require high force and moderate reach.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0-150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 988 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SH Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
Provides the high push force needed to divert heavy packages or products on conveyor lines, with the 800 mm stroke covering wide belt sections.
Hot Press & Molding
Viton seals allow operation in high-temperature clamping and forming presses up to 150 °C, where consistent 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is required.
Heavy-Duty Gate Actuation
Ideal for opening and closing large hopper gates or chutes, with magnetic piston sensing confirming the fully open or closed position for process safety.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If more force is required, stepping up to the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. At an 800 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external guide rail or rod support to prevent bearing wear and rod deflection.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a match on all five critical points: 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic mounting configuration. This SC series cylinder is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.

- ✓ 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 SC100X800SH FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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 SC100X800SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or the load may drop. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke to reduce impact. For load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
