About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5S
The SC100X5S is a compact-stroke double-acting cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, it provides a short, precise 5 mm linear movement ideal for clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where space is limited.
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 reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 100 mm bore body has a length A of 188 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 193 mm. Standard TPU seals provide an operating range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5S Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa in a very short 5 mm stroke, perfect for pressing and holding workpieces during machining or assembly.
Precision Ejection
The 5 mm controlled stroke ejects small parts from dies or fixtures with high repeatability, and the built-in magnet enables sensor confirmation of full retraction.
Compact Gate Actuation
Operates a small diverter gate or stop on a conveyor line where space is tight but substantial force is needed to hold back product flow.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X5S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X5S when you need high force in a minimal stroke length. If your application requires a longer stroke, the SC100 series extends up to 1500 mm standard. For lower force requirements, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Ensure your replacement matches bore (100 mm), stroke (5 mm), PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions and consider an external guide to protect the rod bearing.
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 SC100X5S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
