The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X80SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X80SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks. Its 80 mm stroke fits compact clamping, pressing, and ejector stations where space is limited but force demand is high.
This model features a built-in magnet 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 and providing excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals and high-heat environments. It uses a 25 mm diameter rod with an M20x1.5 thread and PT3/8 ports.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
The Viton seals withstand 150°C, making this cylinder ideal for clamping fixtures in heated platen presses or thermoforming machines where standard seals would degrade.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to confirm gate position on a high-speed conveyor diverter, ensuring reliable part sorting in automated packaging lines.
With FKM seals resisting aggressive cleaning agents, this cylinder reliably actuates valves or plungers in chemical dosing and sterilization equipment.
Choose the SC100X80SH when your application needs 3927 N of force at standard plant pressure and you require sensor feedback in a hot or chemically active setting. If you need less force, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for significantly more force, step up to the SC125 bore at 6136 N. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions—though at 80 mm this is rarely an issue, any off-axis force should be managed with an external guide. When replacing, match bore (100 mm), stroke (80 mm), PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal (-H) to ensure identical fit and function.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 3927 N of push force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It must replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, magnet option, and Viton seals.
