About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X88S
The SC100X88S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with an 88 mm stroke and a built-in magnet for barrel-mounted sensors. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing force, placing it in a high-force class suitable for pressing, clamping, and heavy part transfer.
This model includes the -S magnet option, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm air cushion at each end provide robust guidance and smooth deceleration. Ports are PT1/2, and the standard TPU seals cover a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X88S Is Used
Automated Press-Fit Assembly
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings on automated assembly lines. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke confirmation sensors.
Heavy Part Stops & Gates
Use the SC100X88S as a robust pneumatic stop or diverter gate on conveyor systems handling pallets or heavy totes. The 88 mm stroke provides a clean, fast actuation to separate or redirect product flow.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers high clamping force for welding fixtures, CNC machine vises, or test stands. Magnetic piston sensors verify the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts, improving safety and repeatability.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X88S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X88S when your application needs the 3927 N push force of a 100 mm bore with a compact 88 mm stroke and magnetic position sensing. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure.
To ensure a drop-in replacement, match five points: bore (100 mm), stroke (88 mm), port thread (PT), the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile design, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with the same specifications.
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 SC100X88S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the pushing force is 3927 N and the pulling force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X88S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
