About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X950SH
The AirTAC SC100X950SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa) from a 100 mm bore. With a 950 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it suits long-travel linear actuation in high-temperature environments thanks to its Viton (FKM) seals, which extend the operating range to 0–150 °C.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position feedback. The PT1/2 port thread and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration, while the total extended body length reaches approximately 1138 mm (188 mm body length A + 950 mm stroke).

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X950SH Is Used
High-Temperature Material Handling
The Viton seals (0–150 °C) make this cylinder suitable for actuating gates, diverters, or pushers near ovens, autoclaves, or heat-forming stations where standard seals would degrade.
Long-Stroke Pallet Transfer
With a 950 mm stroke and 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it can transfer heavy pallets or bins across roller conveyors, using the built-in magnet for end-of-stroke sensing.
Automated Welding Fixtures
The heat-resistant Viton seals and sensor-ready magnet allow reliable clamping and positioning of parts in welding cells, where ambient temperatures are elevated and position confirmation is critical.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X950SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces force to 2513 N, while moving up to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. For this 950 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under side load—use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X950SH FAQ
At 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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X950SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
