The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 900mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X900SH is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore, 25 mm piston rod, and a 900 mm stroke, this model is built for robust linear actuation in hot environments, featuring a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.
This variant carries the -S magnet suffix, embedding a magnetic ring on the piston so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The -H seal suffix upgrades the standard TPU seals to Viton (FKM), shifting the operating temperature range from the default -20 to +70 °C up to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, foundries, or engine-bay test rigs. Ports are standard PT1/2.

Viton seals allow continuous operation up to 150°C. Use this 100mm bore cylinder for opening and closing oven doors, autoclave lids, or hot-stamping press guards where standard seals would degrade.
With 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder moves loaded pallets or heavy steel components across roller conveyors. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
The 900 mm stroke and high force output suit large mould clamping and ejection in foundry lines. Viton seals resist the ambient heat, while the adjustable air cushion protects the mould from impact damage.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore saves air and space (2513 N at 0.5 MPa); for heavier loads, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. At a 900 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is long and can bend under side load—always guide the load externally with linear rails or rods, or consider a guided cylinder if side forces are unavoidable.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal (-H) for high-temperature operation. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit; it is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and will not drop into an ISO 15552 footprint.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC100 bore generates 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force on the retract stroke. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf (7850 N), but the rated operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The mounting dimensions and body length differ, so it is not a drop-in replacement. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, magnet, and Viton seal configuration.
