About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290S
The AirTAC SC100X290S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 290 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making it a readily available standard configuration.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for contactless position detection. The cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread and PT1/2 ports, and includes an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290S Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
With 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, the SC100X290S is ideal for diverting or pushing medium-weight packages and totes on conveyor lines, with the magnetic piston enabling precise end-of-stroke sensing.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent, high clamping force for machining fixtures and assembly jigs. The built-in magnet allows sensors to confirm clamp engagement before a cycle starts.
Automated Gate Actuation
Used to open and close sliding gates or chute doors in bulk handling and warehouse automation, where the 290 mm stroke provides sufficient travel and the adjustable cushion ensures quiet, low-impact operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires push forces in the 3900-7000 N range at typical shop air pressures. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier loads, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
For this 290 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal; long unsupported strokes on a single rod can create a bending moment at the rod bearing. Use an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder if significant side load is present. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC100X290S FAQ
At 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 on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without additional brackets.
