The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1030S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1030mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X1030S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a non-standard 1030 mm stroke, factory-built with a built-in magnet for barrel-mounted sensors. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull, scaling to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston near end-of-stroke, and the total extended body length is approximately 1291 mm. The built-in magnet allows direct clamping of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors for position feedback without extra brackets.

The 1030 mm stroke pushes or pulls bins, pallets, or workpieces across wide conveyor gaps, with the magnet enabling end-of-stroke confirmation for automated sequencing.
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to clamp or form large panels, with adjustable cushioning softening the stop on this long-travel tooling stroke.
Operates high-reach diverter gates in bulk handling lines; the built-in magnet lets sensors verify gate open/closed position for interlock safety.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push at standard plant pressure; stepping down to the SC80 bore provides about 2513 N at the same 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC125 bore jumps to 6136 N. This 1030 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order non-standard stroke—confirm lead time with your AirTAC distributor.
For a 1030 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is relatively slender. Any side load, even a small misalignment, can cause rod bending or accelerated bearing wear. Use an external guide rail, rod-alignment coupler, or a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod and bearing. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 1030 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder produces 3927 N extending and 3681 N retracting. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf, but the cylinder is rated only to 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors can be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position. No external brackets or modifications are needed.
