About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480S
The SC100X480S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 480 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are sized for robust mid-range automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. The standard PT1/2 port and TPU seals suit general industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 480 mm stroke moves pallets between conveyor lanes, with the built-in magnet enabling end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Automated Clamping Fixtures
Applies up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for CNC workholding, with sensor feedback confirming the clamp is fully engaged before machining starts.
Bin Diverter Gates
Pushes diverters across wide chutes in sortation systems. The 3927 N force at standard line pressure reliably handles heavy product flow.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X480S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N and 7068 N of push force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore saves space and air (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For heavier demands, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. This 480 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm standard maximum for the 100 mm bore.
At 480 mm of extension, ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide system, as the unsupported 25 mm rod can experience bending under off-axis forces. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X480S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing.
