About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X20S
The SC100X20S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 100 mm bore and short 20 mm stroke suit precise clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where space is tight and cycle speed is critical.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless end-of-stroke sensing. The 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT 1/2 ports, and adjustable air cushion ensure reliable deceleration in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X20S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Delivers 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa in a compact 20 mm stroke, ideal for fixture actuation on machining centers.
Sensor-Controlled Ejection
Built-in magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection with CMSG sensors, confirming part ejection in automated assembly cells.
High-Speed Sorting Gate
Rapid 30-800 mm/s speed range and short stroke make it effective for diverting small packages on conveyor lines.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X20S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when 3927 N at 0.5 MPa matches your load; for lighter loads around 2513 N, step down to the SC80. The 20 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. For replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option exactly to retain sensor functionality.

- ✓ 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 SC100X20S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, making it ready for AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that mount directly on the tie-rod barrel.
