About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860SH
The AirTAC SC100X860SH is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 860 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, and the 25 mm diameter piston rod provides robust thrust transmission for medium-to-heavy linear tasks.
This variant is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) and high-temperature Viton seals (-H suffix). The magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The Viton (FKM) seals shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, making this cylinder suitable for autoclaves, drying lines, and hot-process automation where standard TPU seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860SH Is Used
Hot Autoclave & Sterilizer Actuation
Viton seals withstand 0-150°C steam environments, making the SC100X860SH ideal for opening and closing autoclave doors or positioning racks in high-temperature sterilization equipment.
High-Temperature Material Handling
With 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa and an 860 mm stroke, this cylinder pushes heavy parts through drying ovens or hot wash stations. The built-in magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Hot Press & Molding Ejection
Delivers 7068 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa for ejecting cured parts from heated molds or platen presses. The Viton seal package ensures reliable sealing life even with radiant heat from adjacent tooling.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N. The 860 mm stroke is standard for this bore, keeping lead times short.
At 860 mm of stroke, the extended rod is long enough that side loads can cause rod bending or premature bearing wear. If the load is not perfectly guided along the rod axis, pair this cylinder with an external linear guide or switch to a guided-cylinder configuration. For direct drop-in replacement, match bore (100 mm), stroke (860 mm), PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material (-H).
Quick checklist
- ✓ 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 SC100X860SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 5497 N. The maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa yields 7068 N of push force. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, provided the existing cylinder is a tie-rod type with matching 100 mm bore, 860 mm stroke, PT (1/2 inch) ports, and a built-in magnet. The -H suffix specifies Viton seals rated for 0 to +150 °C, so it is a direct fit for hot-process replacements where standard NBR or TPU seals have failed.
