About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X234S
The SC100X234S is a double-acting tie-rod 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. Its 234 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making it a ready-to-ship standard configuration. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-stroke linear tasks.
This model includes the -S suffix, signifying a built-in magnet embedded in the piston. This allows for direct, non-contact position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clamped onto the tie-rod barrel, eliminating the need for external trip dogs. The standard PT1/2 port threads and TPU seals suit general industrial environments with filtered air from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X234S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for actuating diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, with the 234 mm stroke providing ample travel for sorting medium-sized packages.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers controlled clamping force for welding or assembly jigs. The built-in magnet allows dual end-of-stroke confirmation via DMSG sensors to ensure cycle completion.
Palletizing Pushers
Suited for pushing boxes or trays onto pallets. The adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the moving load at the end of the 234 mm stroke, reducing noise and vibration.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X234S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application requires a force class around 3927 N at standard plant pressure, a significant step up from the SC80 which provides 2513 N at the same 0.5 MPa. If your load demands more than 7000 N, stepping up to the SC125 bore, which offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, is recommended. For this 234 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided to prevent side-loading on the 25 mm rod, which can cause premature bearing wear and seal failure.
To replace an existing cylinder, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 234 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This 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 SC100X234S 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X234S indicates a built-in magnet. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing without any additional brackets.
