About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090S
The AirTAC SC100X1090S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a long 1090 mm stroke, it is built for applications requiring substantial linear travel and high force, such as material transfer or large gate actuation. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-position detection.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 rod thread and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at stroke ends to reduce impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1278 mm. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090S Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
The 1090 mm stroke and 3927 N push force move heavy pallets, bins, or components between distant conveyor stations or processing cells.
Large Gate or Damper Actuation
Operates large sliding gates, hopper doors, or air dampers in bulk handling or HVAC systems where a long linear stroke and high force are needed.
Automated Sorting Pushers
The built-in magnet enables sensor-based position feedback for long-stroke pushers that divert packages or products onto branch conveyors in logistics hubs.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your load requires between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If you need slightly less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC125 bore steps up to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 1090 mm stroke, side-load management is critical—an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending under lateral forces. Use an external linear guide or rod support to protect the rod bearing and piston seals.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 1090 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder 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 SC100X1090S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N and the pull force (retraction) is 3681 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without additional brackets.
