About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X24
The AirTAC SC100X24 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a compact 24 mm stroke, it provides a powerful, short-throw linear motion solution for clamping, pressing, or ejecting tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The body length A is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 212 mm. Its adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X24 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this short-stroke cylinder ideal for powerful workpiece clamping in machining centers or welding fixtures.
Pneumatic Press
Use the SC100X24 for small-scale pressing, staking, or riveting operations where a high force is required over a very short travel distance.
Product Ejection
Deploy this actuator as a robust ejector on packaging or assembly lines, pushing finished goods off a conveyor with consistent, repeatable force.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X24 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force in a smaller footprint, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If your stroke requires precise guidance against side loads, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder, as the standard tie-rod construction is not designed to absorb high lateral forces.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match these five points to ensure drop-in compatibility: 100 mm bore, 24 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no integrated mounting bracket), and the absence of a barrel magnet. This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile unit; it is a shorter tie-rod design.
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 SC100X24 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (approximately 100 psi), the SC100X24 generates a push force of 5497 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 7068 N.
No, this specific model code (SC100X24) does not include the -S suffix for a built-in magnet. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, you would need the SC100X24-S variant, which has a magnetized piston for sensor activation.
