About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285SN
The AirTAC SC100X285SN is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (5497 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 285 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping and pressing tasks where consistent thrust is critical. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration at end-of-stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback without external brackets. The NBR seal (-N) package offers reliable performance in standard industrial environments within the -20 to +70 °C temperature range. Port threads are standard PT1/2.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285SN Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably stops and transfers loaded pallets on conveyor lines, with sensor feedback confirming retracted position.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers up to 5497 N at 0.7 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in machining fixtures, with NBR seals handling standard shop air conditions.
Automated Pressing
The 285 mm stroke provides ample travel for pressing bearings or bushings into housings, with adjustable cushioning to reduce impact at full extension.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X285SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). If a shorter overall length is required, the SC100X250 standard stroke option may fit. At 285 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported, but for applications with significant side load, an external linear guide is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending stress.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 285 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, built-in magnet for sensors, and NBR seal material. This ensures drop-in compatibility with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod unit of the same configuration.

- ✓ 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 SC100X285SN FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position detection.
