About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235S
The SC100X235S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 235 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position feedback.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 ports. Its adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke, reducing impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 423 mm. Operating pressure range is 0.15–1.0 MPa with a speed of 30–800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235S Is Used
Conveyor Sorting Gate
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines. The 235 mm stroke provides ample travel for diverting large packages or pallets, with sensor feedback confirming gate position.
Press-Fit Assembly Station
Delivers up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins. The built-in magnet enables precise mid-stroke deceleration sensing for quality control in automated assembly cells.
Pallet Lift & Transfer
Ideal for lifting and transferring pallets in automated storage systems. The 235 mm stroke raises pallets clear of roller beds, while the adjustable cushion ensures smooth, low-impact stops under heavy vertical loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs a push force around 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If the load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and mounting footprint. For heavier loads, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At 235 mm stroke, side-load forces on the rod bearing are moderate, but always align the load axially. For a drop-in replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 235 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with it.
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 SC100X235S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the cylinder pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, yielding a theoretical push of 801 kgf. Always factor in a safety margin for dynamic loads.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a factory-installed magnet in the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel without any additional brackets or modifications.
