About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340S
The SC100X340S delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), placing it firmly in the heavy-duty automation class for pressing, clamping, and lifting. Its 340 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, and the 25 mm diameter piston rod provides robust column strength for linear push applications.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors can be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel without extra brackets. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting tooling and reducing noise in high-cycle systems.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 340 mm stroke raise and lower heavy pallet stops or lift gates in conveyor systems, with the magnet enabling end-of-stroke confirmation.
Assembly Press Tooling
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for bearing insertion or riveting. The adjustable cushion protects the press tooling, and the built-in magnet provides cycle-count feedback.
Material Clamping & Fixturing
The 340 mm stroke accommodates tall fixtures, while the sensor-ready barrel allows precise clamp/unclamp verification in automated CNC or welding cells.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your load requires roughly 4000 N at standard plant air; if you can accept about 2500 N, stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption. At 340 mm stroke the unsupported rod length is significant—any side load or off-axis force will bend the 25 mm rod and wear the bearing, so use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
For a drop-in replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 340 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X340S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3927 N and pull force 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 means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing.
