About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SN
The AirTAC SC100X900SN is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 900 mm stroke, this tie-rod actuator is built for demanding linear motion tasks. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for precise, contactless position feedback.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The nitrile (NBR) seals provide reliable operation within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end (29 mm length) effectively decelerates the piston, reducing impact noise and vibration for a long service life.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SN Is Used
Heavy Part Transfer
Pushes or lifts heavy components between conveyor lines or workstations, with the 900 mm stroke covering long transfer distances and sensors confirming end-of-travel.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers the high force needed for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings, with the adjustable cushion softening the impact at full insertion depth.
Pallet Dispensing Systems
Actuates long-stroke pushers in pallet magazines or layer-forming equipment, reliably moving stacks with the high thrust capability of the 100 mm bore.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SN the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X900SN when your application requires a force class around 3927 N at standard plant pressure. If you need a more compact actuator and can accept a lower force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may be suitable. For higher force requirements, consider the 125 mm bore model (6136 N at 0.5 MPa).
For this 900 mm stroke, careful management of side loads is critical. The long, extended 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral force. Always ensure the load is guided externally or use a rigidly aligned linear guide to protect the rod bearing and piston seals from premature wear. For direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT port thread, NBR seals, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.

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 SC100X900SN FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 7068 N.
Yes. The 'S' in the model code indicates a built-in magnet, which is specifically designed for direct mounting of AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the barrel to provide end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position signals.
