About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250S
The SC100X250S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 25 mm piston rod drive a 250 mm stroke, with an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the load smoothly.
This model includes a factory-installed magnet (-S suffix), so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 438 mm. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and sensor-ready barrel make this cylinder ideal for end-of-line pallet stops and 90-degree transfers where position confirmation is required.
Clamping & Fixturing
With a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG sensor feedback, the SC100X250S reliably clamps large weldments or machined parts, confirming jaw position before the cycle starts.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
The 7068 N force at 0.9 MPa ejects heavy bales or compacted material from the chamber. The 29 mm adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 250 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you can work with about 2513 N, stepping down to the SC80 reduces air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. The 250 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your required mounting accessory (this unit ships basic, without brackets). At 250 mm the rod is still well-supported, but if side loads are present, add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing.
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 SC100X250S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force rises to 5497 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing.
