About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X460S
The SC100X460S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a powerful actuator for medium-to-heavy linear tasks. With a 100 mm bore and a 460 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the load smoothly at end-of-travel.
This variant includes the factory-installed -S magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 648 mm, and it operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X460S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 460 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shift heavy pallets between conveyor lanes, with the magnetic piston enabling end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Press-Fit Assembly Stations
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings. The built-in magnet allows precise mid-stroke deceleration sensing for quality control.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
Provides the high force needed to eject compacted material bales. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 460 mm stroke, protecting the cylinder and machine frame.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X460S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure; for lighter loads, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For a 460 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading—if the load is not guided externally, consider adding a linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.
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 SC100X460S FAQ
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 on the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for contactless position detection without any additional mounting brackets.
