About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980H
The AirTAC SC100X980H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), built around a 25 mm diameter piston rod. With a 980 mm stroke, it suits long-travel transfer and lifting applications where high-temperature resilience is mandatory—the Viton (FKM) seals shift the operating range to 0–150 °C, well above the standard TPU limit.
This model uses a PT 1/2 port and features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the load smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1168 mm. For strokes of this length, external guides or a guided cylinder configuration are recommended to protect the rod from side-load bending.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980H Is Used
High-Temperature Material Handling
Viton seals allow the SC100X980H to operate continuously at up to 150 °C, making it suitable for actuating gates, pushers, or clamps near ovens, autoclaves, or heated presses.
Long-Stroke Part Transfer
With 980 mm of travel and 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder moves heavy components between conveyor lines or into assembly stations where heat is present.
Foundry & Forge Auxiliary Actuation
The high-temperature seal package and robust tie-rod construction handle the ambient heat near casting or forging equipment, powering mold clamps or knockout mechanisms reliably.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980H the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3900–7000 N of force from a standard plant-air supply. If you need more force, step up to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); if you can accept less, the SC80 provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. This 980 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 980 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the H (Viton) seal code. The long rod requires careful alignment; consider adding an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bending under side load. The SC100 is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.

- ✓ 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 SC100X980H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and 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 SC100X980H is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. To hold a position without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical lock.
