About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215S
The SC100X215S is a 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 100 mm bore and a 215 mm stroke, this unit features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model includes the -S suffix, denoting a built-in magnet embedded in the piston. This allows for direct, non-contact position sensing by clamping standard CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or solid-state sensors onto the tie-rod barrel. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Directly actuates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet confirming open/closed positions via sensors to prevent product jams.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides a strong, controlled 3927 N clamping force at standard line pressure for holding large workpieces during welding, assembly, or machining processes.
Palletizer Pushers
Ideal for pushing heavy boxes or layers onto pallets in logistics hubs, where the 215 mm stroke offers the right reach and the magnet enables end-of-travel confirmation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. This 215 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 100 mm bore, ensuring standard lead times. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.
At this stroke length, the 25 mm rod provides good column strength, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external linear guide or rod support to prevent premature bearing wear and ensure consistent operation.
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 SC100X215S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 indicates a built-in magnet. This allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors directly on the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to provide reliable, non-contact end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback.
