About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X156S
The SC100X156S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 156 mm stroke suits medium-travel clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks where consistent force is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X156S Is Used
Conveyor Stop & Gate
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily stops or diverts medium-weight packages on a powered conveyor line, with sensors confirming gate position via the built-in magnet.
Assembly Press
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bushings or bearings into housings. The 156 mm stroke provides clearance for part loading and ejection.
Clamping Fixture
Used in CNC fixture clamping where the magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to interlock with the machine control, ensuring the part is secure before the spindle starts.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X156S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you need less force, stepping down to the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving space and air consumption. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 156 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount (no factory bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S). This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is 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 SC100X156S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
