About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50S
The SC100X50S is a 100 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm standard stroke and a built-in magnet for sensor mounting. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it delivers 3927 N push force and 3681 N pull force, making it a capable actuator for short-stroke clamping and pressing tasks.
This model includes the -S magnet suffix, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the barrel for piston-position feedback. The 25 mm diameter rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration in a compact body length of 188 mm (total extended length approx. 238 mm).

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50S Is Used
Pneumatic Press & Clamping
Short 50 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa suit jig clamping, light press-fit assembly, and spot-welding fixtures where the built-in magnet confirms jaw position.
Part Stops & Diverters
Fast 30-800 mm/s speed range and sensor-ready barrel allow precise end-of-stroke detection for product stops or lane diverters on packaging conveyors.
Test & Inspection Rigs
Repeatable 50 mm linear motion with magnetic piston sensing integrates easily into leak-test fixtures, gauging stations, and quality-assurance automation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for lower force step down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa), and for higher force up to 6136 N consider the 125 mm bore. The 50 mm stroke is a standard length well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.
For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the -S magnet for sensor compatibility, and basic (no bracket) mounting. This cylinder is a tie-rod design, 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 SC100X50S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure the cylinder produces 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling. 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 in SC100X50S means a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors can be clamped onto the barrel's sensor groove without any additional brackets or modifications.
