About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400S
The SC100X400S delivers a powerful 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a go-to actuator for heavy-duty clamping and pressing operations. This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 400 mm stroke, with an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (suffix -S), this cylinder allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. As a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, it is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it fits where space is limited but force demands are high.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
Raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, using the 3927 N push force and sensor feedback to confirm position before transfer.
Industrial Press Frame
Applies sustained pressing force for assembly or lamination, with the built-in magnet enabling precise stroke-end signaling to the PLC.
Heavy Gate Actuation
Opens and closes large hopper gates or diverters, where the robust 25 mm rod and 29 mm cushion handle the high cycle impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore saves air and space (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes of 400 mm, always check for side loading—a 25 mm rod extending this far can bend under lateral force. If the load is not guided, add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals. For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your existing mounting accessory.
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 SC100X400S 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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, so you can clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel without any additional brackets or modifications.
