About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10S
The SC100X10S is a compact-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force in a minimal linear movement. With a 100 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, it generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for clamping, ejecting, or short-pitch positioning tasks where space is tight.
This model includes the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke detection. The SC100 features a 25 mm piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm to soften the impact at such short, high-force strokes.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10S Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Short 10 mm stroke with 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa for securely holding workpieces during machining or assembly.
Part Ejection
Delivers a rapid, powerful 10 mm punch to eject parts from molds or fixtures, with sensor confirmation via the built-in magnet.
Short-Pitch Diverting
Actuates a gate or diverter on a conveyor line where only a small linear movement is needed to redirect products.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10S the Right Cylinder?
The SC100X10S suits applications needing high force over a very short travel. If your clamping or pressing force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore (SC80, 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) to reduce air consumption. For longer strokes at this force level, the SC100 extends up to a 1500 mm standard stroke.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting. This is a tie-rod cylinder; it 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 SC100X10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the push force 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 theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. You can directly mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors on the cylinder barrel to detect piston position.
