About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X236S
The AirTAC SC100X236S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 100 mm bore and 236 mm stroke, this model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors directly on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback.
The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 port thread provide robust air flow for consistent actuation. Its body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 424 mm. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing impact noise and vibration. Operating on 30-800 mm/s filtered air, this cylinder is a reliable workhorse for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks requiring sensor confirmation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X236S Is Used
Automated Sorting Gates
The 236 mm stroke and 100 mm bore provide the reach and force to divert medium-weight packages on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to confirm gate open/close status for PLC control.
Clamping & Fixturing Stations
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or welding. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from impact damage, while the magnetic piston allows position verification.
Press & Assembly Tools
Ideal for light-duty pressing or component insertion where 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient. The tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance, and the -S magnet supports cycle counting via external sensors.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X236S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application demands roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you need less force, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving space and air consumption. For higher force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. This 236 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore. For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 236 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. Any deviation in port type or magnet option will prevent sensors from mounting or require additional adapters.
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 SC100X236S 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 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 indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, specifically designed for use with AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors. These sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel's external grooves, allowing you to detect piston position without additional brackets.
