About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X522S
The AirTAC SC100X522S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a non-standard 522 mm stroke, factory-built with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, rising to 7068 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end (29 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, while the TPU/NBR seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. Total body length A is 188 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 710 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X522S Is Used
Pallet Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa moves loaded pallets across roller conveyors, with the 522 mm stroke covering wide transfer gaps.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings, with the magnet enabling end-of-stroke confirmation via CMSG sensors.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Long 522 mm stroke actuates large material-diverter gates in chutes or sortation systems, with adjustable cushioning to manage gate inertia.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X522S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3927 N of force at standard shop air; stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption if the load is lighter. For strokes of 300 mm and above, particularly with this non-standard 522 mm stroke, side loads can bend the 25 mm rod — add an external linear guide or consider a guided-cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 522 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting. This SC is a tie-rod design and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder; it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC100X522S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder produces 3927 N extending and 3681 N retracting. At 0.7 MPa it reaches 5497 N push, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it delivers 7068 N push. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X522S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder and does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. If the application requires load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
