About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15S
The SC100X15S is a short-stroke, double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter provide robust thrust for clamping, ejecting, and compact actuation tasks where space is limited.
This model includes the -S suffix, meaning a built-in magnet is fitted on the piston. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The body length A is 188 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 203 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15S Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Short 15 mm stroke with 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes it ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining and welding cells.
Part Ejection
Compact body length (188 mm A-dimension) suits tight spaces on stamping or injection molding machines for ejector duties.
Diverter Gates
Quick 15 mm linear motion for sorting flaps on conveyor lines, with sensor-ready magnet for position confirmation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher thrust is required, step up to the 125 mm bore SC125 series, which offers 6136 N at the same pressure. The 15 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This SC100X15S is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC100 cylinders of the same configuration.
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 SC100X15S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the 25 mm rod reducing the piston area on the rod side.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
