About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520S
The AirTAC SC100X520S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 520 mm stroke, it suits medium-to-long linear movements in automation. The 25 mm diameter rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration at stroke ends.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A is 188 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 708 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15–1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520S Is Used
Material Handling Pusher
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa moves boxes or totes on roller conveyors. The 520 mm stroke transfers items between parallel lines, with sensors confirming extend and retract positions.
Automated Clamping Fixture
Applies consistent clamping pressure in CNC or welding jigs. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to verify the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts.
Pallet Dispenser Actuator
Pushes the bottom pallet from a stack in automated palletizing cells. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 520 mm stroke, protecting the dispenser frame.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X520S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X520S when 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa fits the load. For lighter applications, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier ones, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N. The 520 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm standard maximum for bore 100.
For strokes over 300 mm, consider external guides or a guided cylinder if side loads are present—the 25 mm rod can bend under unsupported radial force. To match an existing cylinder, confirm bore (100 mm), stroke (520 mm), PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the magnet option (-S).
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 SC100X520S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and 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 denotes a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clip directly onto the barrel for end-of-stroke or intermediate position detection.
