The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X405S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 405mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X405S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 405 mm stroke make it a robust workhorse for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, contactless position feedback.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends, reducing impact and noise. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 593 mm. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy tote lifting, pallet stops, and transfer carriages on conveyor lines with ease.
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces during welding, machining, or assembly operations.
Ideal for high-speed sortation gates and diverters in logistics hubs, with sensor feedback from the built-in magnet for precise position confirmation.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force around 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N. For this 405 mm stroke, ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To guarantee a correct replacement, match five key attributes: bore (100 mm), stroke (405 mm), port thread (PT), mounting style (basic, no bracket), and the magnet option (-S). This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, which allows you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots for non-contact end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing.
