About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285S
The SC100X285S delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy pneumatic tasks needing a 285 mm stroke. This double-acting tie-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to soften end-of-stroke impact.
A built-in magnet (indicated by the -S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. With a body length of 188 mm and PT1/2 ports, it operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa across a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285S Is Used
Material Transfer Gates
The 285 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates diverter gates on conveyor lines, and the built-in magnet enables simple end-of-stroke detection.
Press-Fit Assembly
With up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder handles press-fit operations for bearings or bushings, where sensor feedback confirms full insertion.
Palletizer Pushers
The 285 mm reach and robust 25 mm rod are ideal for pushing boxes or layers onto a pallet, with magnetic sensors verifying the pusher's retracted position.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285S the Right Cylinder?
For a step down in force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while a step up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. This 285 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 285 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 25 mm rod from side-load bending, though at 285 mm this model is just under that typical threshold.
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 SC100X285S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N; at 0.7 MPa it's 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC100X285S means it has a built-in magnet on the piston. AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel's sensor groove.
