About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X185S
The SC100X185S is a robust 100 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 185 mm stroke, this model is well-suited for medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks where consistent force is critical.
This cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce impact noise and extend service life.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X185S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and integrated magnetic sensing make this cylinder ideal for stopping and transferring heavy pallets on conveyor lines, providing precise position feedback to the PLC.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
With a 25 mm rod and up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it securely clamps large weldments or composite layups, and the adjustable cushion prevents jarring at the end of the 185 mm stroke.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers controlled, high-force insertion for bearings or bushings. The magnetic piston enables sensor confirmation of full extension and retraction for automated quality assurance.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X185S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter overall length is required, the 80 mm bore SC80 series offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. This SC100X185S model is a standard-stroke unit within the 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, 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 SC100X185S 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X185S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
