About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SH
The AirTAC SC100X960SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 960 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it is engineered for applications demanding a long, powerful linear movement in high-temperature environments.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and Viton (FKM) seals (-H suffix) that shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C. The total extended body length is 1148 mm, and the adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end is 29 mm, providing smooth deceleration for high-inertia loads.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SH Is Used
High-Temperature Process Automation
The Viton seals enable reliable operation in autoclaves, ovens, and foundry equipment up to 150°C, where standard seals would fail.
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
With 960 mm of travel and 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, it efficiently shifts heavy pallets or bulky goods between conveyor lines.
Sensor-Controlled Pressing
The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to provide precise mid-stroke position feedback for automated pressing or clamping sequences.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force around 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For a step down in force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure, while the SC125 bore steps up to 6136 N. Always match the bore, 960 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet and -H Viton seal options when replacing.
For this 960 mm stroke, carefully assess side loads. A long, unsupported 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral force. To ensure long seal life and prevent rod bearing damage, use an external linear guide or a self-guided actuator to isolate the cylinder rod from any non-axial loads.
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 SC100X960SH FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 3927 N, and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC100X960SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. The piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
