About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240S
The SC100X240S delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This double-acting, single-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy industrial linear motion tasks.
A built-in magnet is included in this -S suffix model, allowing standard CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke position sensing. The 240 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore, and the adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly over a 29 mm length.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240S Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
Provides the high push force needed to divert heavy packages or products on conveyor lines, with the magnet enabling sensor-based confirmation of each divert cycle.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Ideal for pneumatic fixtures requiring a firm, controlled clamp force on large workpieces in machining or welding cells, where the 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa ensures parts stay put.
Press & Forming Assist
Suitable as an actuator in small to medium pneumatic presses or forming tools, delivering up to 7068 N of pressing force at 0.9 MPa for bending, crimping, or assembly operations.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application needs a force class around 4000 N at standard plant air pressure. If your load requires a more compact actuator and slightly less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For a step up in force, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. This cylinder is a basic mount model; order accessory feet (F-SC100LB), flanges (F-SC100FA/FB), or clevises (F-SC100CA/CB) separately if required. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the magnet-equipped (-S) specification.

- ✓ 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 SC100X240S 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 indicates a built-in magnet around the piston. This allows you to mount compatible AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rods to detect piston position without external brackets or flags.
