The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X223S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 223mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X223S delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This double-acting cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread, paired with a PT1/2 port for reliable pneumatic connections.
With a 223 mm stroke and a body length of 188 mm, it is built for tasks requiring a decisive linear push. The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel, giving you precise, non-contact end-of-stroke detection without extra brackets.

Shuttles heavy bins or pallets between conveyor lines, using the 3927 N push force at standard shop air to move loads reliably.
Provides powerful, consistent clamping force for CNC fixtures or welding jigs, with sensor confirmation that the part is securely held.
Drives a compaction plate in small balers or compactors, where the 0.9 MPa thrust of 7068 N delivers the final squeeze.
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more muscle, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: the 100 mm bore, 223 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the presence of the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 25 mm rod from side-load bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force rises to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
