About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X450S
The SC100X450S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 450 mm stroke suit medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where sensor feedback is required, thanks to the built-in magnet that accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 638 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X450S Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 450 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuate heavy diverter gates in material handling lines, with magnetic sensors confirming gate position.
Press-Fit Assembly Stations
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to interlock with the press cycle.
Pallet Stacker Pushers
Moves loaded pallets sideways with a 450 mm push stroke. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact energy from the high inertial load, reducing noise and wear.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X450S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X450S when you need the 3927 N push force of a 100 mm bore and require magnetic piston sensing. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption. For heavier loads, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N.
For this 450 mm stroke, avoid direct side loads on the unsupported rod; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present. To replace an existing unit, match five points: 100 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and basic mounting (no bracket).
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 SC100X450S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the push force is 5497 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N. The theoretical pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod area.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
