About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180S
The SC100X180S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 180 mm stroke, paired with a 25 mm diameter hard-chrome-plated piston rod, provides a robust linear motion solution for medium-travel clamping and pressing tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing. The SC series features an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length on this 100 mm bore) to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, protecting end caps from impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180S Is Used
Automated Clamping Fixtures
Generates up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for CNC machining fixtures and welding jigs where sensor-confirmed clamp position is required.
Part Ejection & Sorting
The 180 mm stroke and magnetic piston enable reliable end-of-stroke detection for ejecting heavy parts from conveyors or diverting pallets in logistics hubs.
Press & Forming Assist
Delivers consistent force for light-duty pressing, riveting, or forming operations, with adjustable cushioning to manage the impact of heavy tooling.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180S the Right Cylinder?
For higher force requirements, consider the SC125 bore which provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If a smaller footprint is needed, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure. This cylinder uses standard PT ports (PT1/2) and a basic mount configuration.
When replacing this unit, ensure the new cylinder matches five key points: 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic tie-rod mounting style. For strokes exceeding 300 mm, evaluate side-load conditions and consider an external guide rail to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.

- ✓ 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 SC100X180S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approximately 72.5 psi) the cylinder produces 3927 N of push force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, theoretical output reaches 801 kgf. The pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N due to the 25 mm rod reducing the piston area on the retract side.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X180S designates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
