About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860S
The SC100X860S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 100 mm bore is paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, providing smooth deceleration for the 860 mm stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The standard PT1/2 port thread and TPU seals suit a wide range of general industrial automation tasks within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 860 mm stroke and 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa efficiently actuate diverter gates and stops on wide conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet providing sensor feedback to the control system.
Press Feed Mechanisms
Delivers consistent, powerful linear motion for feeding large sheets or components into stamping presses, where the adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact damage at the end of the 860 mm travel.
Pallet Transfer Systems
Transfers heavy pallets between roller beds in automated warehouses. The long stroke and high force capacity handle substantial payloads, while the magnetic piston enables precise position verification.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860S the Right Cylinder?
For higher force requirements, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC80 bore offers 2513 N if a more compact actuator is sufficient. The 860 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
At this stroke length, ensure the rod is not subjected to high side loads; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration is recommended to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 860 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting style, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X860S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X860S indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to mount AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors directly on the cylinder barrel's tie-rods to detect piston position without any modification.
