About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525S
The SC100X525S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 525 mm stroke, it is built for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where position sensing is required—the integrated magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly at end-of-stroke. Body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 713 mm. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525S Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 100 mm bore provides ample force to shift heavy diverter gates or flippers on high-capacity package and pallet conveyors. The built-in magnet enables reliable end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Press-Fit & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for bearing insertion, dowel pressing, or component clamping in semi-automatic assembly stations. Sensor feedback confirms cycle completion for interlocked safety logic.
Pallet Lift & Transfer Stations
Used in pallet dispensers or transfer cars where a 525 mm stroke lifts or shifts a full pallet. The tie-rod design handles repetitive impact, and the magnet allows mid-stroke position flags for two-speed circuits.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X525S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving air consumption and physical space. For higher forces, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
At 525 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is inherently stiff for most axial loads, but any significant side loading or off-centre mounting can cause rod deflection and premature bearing wear. If the load is guided externally or the cylinder is used in a vertical lift with a rigid coupling, this stroke is well within normal operating limits. For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 525 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, the built-in magnet (-S), and basic (no accessory) mounting.

- ✓ 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 SC100X525S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the 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 indicates a factory-installed magnet in the piston, designed for AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors. These sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel without additional brackets.
