About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X45S
The SC100X45S is a short-stroke variant of the 100 mm bore AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 45 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a compact yet powerful linear motion solution for clamping, pressing, and ejecting tasks where space is limited.
The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position sensing. The cylinder uses PT1/2 ports, features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, and operates on filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa with a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X45S Is Used
Pneumatic Clamping
Short 45 mm stroke and 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for workpiece clamping in machining centres and welding fixtures, with magnet sensors confirming clamp engagement.
Automated Ejection
Delivers a quick, powerful push to eject parts from injection moulds or stamping dies. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to the PLC for cycle verification.
Diverter & Stop Gates
Used on packaging lines as a pneumatic stop or diverter gate actuator. The 100 mm bore provides ample force to hold back cartons, with position sensing via CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X45S the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore model suits applications needing around 4000 N at moderate pressure. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and footprint. For higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 45 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This 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 SC100X45S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel tie-rods without any additional brackets or modifications.
