About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230S
The SC100X230S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 230 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard range for the 100 mm bore, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-reach actuation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration, while the PT1/2 port supplies ample flow for speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230S Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily diverts or indexes boxes and pallets on conveyor lines, with sensor magnets confirming each cycle.
Automated Clamping
Delivers high, consistent clamping pressure for CNC fixtures or welding jigs. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke verification for safety interlocks.
Press-Fit Assembly
With up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can handle light press-fit operations for bearings or bushings in assembly stations.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact cylinder is sufficient, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: 100 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.
At this stroke length, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading. If the load is not guided externally, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
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 SC100X230S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC100X230S designates a built-in magnet on the piston, specifically for use with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors that clamp onto the cylinder barrel.
