About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000S
The AirTAC SC100X1000S is a tie-rod double-acting cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a long 1000 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring significant linear force over an extended travel distance, such as pressing, clamping, or lifting heavy assemblies.
This unit features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port threads, with an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, allowing easy mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel for reliable position feedback without external brackets.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000S Is Used
Heavy Material Pressing
Generates up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or laminates over a 1-meter stroke, ideal for assembly stations.
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 1000 mm stroke and built-in magnet for end-of-stroke sensing make it perfect for raising and stopping heavy pallets on conveyor lines with precise position confirmation.
Automated Welding Fixtures
Provides consistent, high-force clamping of large weldments. The magnet allows sensors to verify clamp position before the welding cycle starts, ensuring safety and quality.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, consider stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). If your load requires more power, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At a 1000 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is long and unsupported; any significant side load will cause rod bending and premature seal wear. Always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to absorb transverse forces and protect the cylinder.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor compatibility), and your required mounting accessory. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC100X1000S FAQ
The theoretical push force is 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the 25 mm rod area, producing 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. For a precise calculation at your specific pressure, multiply the full bore area (78.5 cm²) by your pressure in MPa.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC100X1000S will drift or drop if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. Its adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end to reduce impact; it is not a locking or holding device. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
