About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470S
The SC100X470S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 470 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This unit includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy integration of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 658 mm, and it uses an adjustable pneumatic cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at the end of its 29 mm cushion stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470S Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
With 3927 N of force at standard shop air, this cylinder is ideal for heavy-duty workpiece clamping, small press-fit operations, and assembly fixtures requiring consistent, controlled pressure.
Material Handling
The 470 mm stroke and sensor-ready design suit it for diverting or stopping heavy packages on conveyor lines, with the magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation to a PLC.
Industrial Automation
A workhorse for general automation, this cylinder can actuate gates, chutes, or lift mechanisms, with the adjustable cushion protecting the end caps during high-cycle-rate operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while a 125 mm bore offers a significant jump to 6136 N. At a 470 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported, but any significant side load should be managed with an external linear guide to prevent rod bearing wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 100 mm bore, 470 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
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 SC100X470S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (approximately 102 psi), the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower at 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the area of the 25 mm rod.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X470S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
