The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X300S delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a workhorse for medium-to-heavy pneumatic tasks. With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 300 mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder provides a robust linear motion solution where position sensing is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing impact noise and wear in high-cycle applications.

Actuates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to confirm gate position, while 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy packages reliably.
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowels into housings. The adjustable cushion protects tooling and parts by softening the end-of-stroke impact.
Provides the vertical push to raise pallet stacks in transfer stations. Magnetic sensors signal full extension and retraction, integrating cleanly with automated warehouse control systems.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier loads, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. The 300 mm stroke on a 25 mm rod demands attention to side loading—any lateral force on the rod end can create a bending moment. For guided motion, pair this cylinder with an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder assembly.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same stroke.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force (retract) is 3681 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 magnetic piston band. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
