About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85S
The SC100X85S is a 100 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder with an 85 mm stroke, delivering a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports suit medium-to-heavy pneumatic tasks where a compact, non-ISO 15552 body length (188 mm plus stroke) is preferred.
This model includes the -S suffix, indicating a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows standard CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable, non-contact end-of-stroke sensing without additional mounting brackets.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet provides clean sensor feedback for gate-open and gate-closed confirmation.
Heavy Part Clamping
Ideal for welding or machining fixtures where a robust 100 mm bore clamps large fabrications. Sensors detect the retracted position to ensure the clamp is clear before part transfer.
Compaction & Pressing
With 7068 N available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits small waste compactors or laboratory presses requiring a short, powerful 85 mm stroke and reliable magnetic piston sensing.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X85S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X85S when your application requires roughly 4000 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter and you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce air consumption. For higher force requirements, the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 85 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting configuration. This cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and will not interchange dimensionally with that standard.
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 SC100X85S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N, and the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. The pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without external flags or brackets.
