About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510S
The SC100X510S delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This double-acting, tie-rod cylinder uses a 100 mm bore with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust actuator for mid-to-heavy industrial linear motion. The 510 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the body length A is 188 mm.
A built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) is integrated into the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The cylinder features an adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, with a 29 mm cushion length to decelerate the piston smoothly. Operating on 40 µm filtered air, it is rated for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C with its standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably moves heavy pallets or skids across roller conveyors. The 510 mm stroke covers full transfer distances, and the built-in magnet enables precise mid-stroke position confirmation with barrel-mounted sensors.
Heavy-Duty Clamping & Pressing
With up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides the high clamping pressure needed for welding fixtures or assembly presses. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by decelerating the 25 mm rod smoothly at the end of its 510 mm travel.
Automated Sorting Gates
The SC100X510S actuates large diverter gates in logistics hubs. The -S magnet allows DMSG sensors to verify the gate's open/closed position, ensuring fail-safe operation in high-throughput sorting lines.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510S the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore cylinder is a step up from the 80 mm bore, which provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, offering nearly 60% more force for heavier payloads. For applications with significant side loading or a 510 mm stroke, an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to protect the 25 mm rod from bending stress and premature bearing wear. The piston rod is not designed to absorb lateral forces on its own.
For a direct replacement, the cylinder must match an AirTAC SC tie-rod model with a 100 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. This is not an ISO 15552 cylinder and has a shorter body length, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Confirm the overall extended length of approximately 698 mm (body length A + stroke) fits your installation space.
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 SC100X510S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a body length that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It is a direct fit only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with identical bore, stroke, PT1/2 ports, and magnet option.
