About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X385S
The AirTAC SC100X385S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 385 mm stroke suit medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred over bulkier ISO 15552 profiles.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration without external shock absorbers.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X385S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet confirms end-of-stroke position to the PLC.
Press-Fit Assembly
With 7068 N available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder handles press-fit and clamping operations in automotive sub-assembly fixtures.
Diverter Gate Actuation
The 385 mm stroke provides the long travel needed for sorting gates in logistics hubs. The adjustable cushion protects the gate structure from impact damage.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X385S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If your load is closer to 2500 N, stepping down to an SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or more, like this 385 mm unit, always check for side loads—an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension can bend under lateral force. Add an external guide rail or use a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 385 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style (no integral bracket). This ensures the new cylinder drops into the same sensor and mounting footprint.
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 SC100X385S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push force is 3927 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 5497 N; and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. Pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the rod area: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
