About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30S
The SC100X30S is a short-stroke member of the AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder family, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 100 mm bore, 25 mm piston rod, and 30 mm stroke make it a compact workhorse for clamping, ejecting, and short linear pushes where space is tight.
This model includes the -S suffix, equipping the cylinder with a built-in magnet. This allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end (29 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30S Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in machining centres and welding fixtures, with sensor confirmation of the clamped position via the built-in magnet.
Automated Ejection
Short, powerful 30 mm stroke ejects parts from stamping dies or injection molds. The CMSG/DMSG sensors verify full extension and retraction for reliable cycle sequencing.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Quickly actuates a diverter gate on a conveyor line. The compact body fits in tight spaces, and the adjustable cushion ensures quiet, low-impact operation at high cycle rates.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X30S when you need a high-force, short-stroke actuator with integrated position feedback. If 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more force than required, stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. The short 30 mm stroke keeps the overall extended length compact at approximately 218 mm (body length A of 188 mm + stroke).
For replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod unit with the same specifications.
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 SC100X30S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N. At 0.7 MPa it rises to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X30S means it has a built-in magnetic piston. AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
