About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X485S
The SC100X485S is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 485 mm stroke, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the standard TPU seals provide a reliable temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X485S Is Used
Material Handling & Transfer
Provides the high push force needed to move heavy totes or pallets on a roller conveyor transfer station, with magnetic sensors confirming part-in-place status.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in woodworking or metal fabrication, where 3927 N at 0.5 MPa firmly secures large workpieces during machining or assembly.
Automated Sorting Gates
Drives a high-speed diverter gate in a logistics sortation system. The built-in magnet enables reliable end-of-stroke sensing for high-cycle-rate operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X485S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore model (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). If your 485 mm stroke involves significant side loading, implement an external guide system; the unsupported 25 mm rod can be subject to bending moments over this extended length.
To ensure a correct replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 485 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet sensor option (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is a direct dimensional match for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod unit with the same specifications.
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 SC100X485S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X485S indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel's tie-rod slots for contactless position detection.
