About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960S
The SC100X960S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a long 960 mm stroke, this model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing.
The 25 mm piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration for heavy linear moves. The body length A is 188 mm, making the total extended length approximately 1148 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with filtered air, and the standard PT1/2 port thread connects directly to common pneumatic fittings.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960S Is Used
Long-Reach Material Handling
The 960 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa suit long pusher arms on packaging or palletizing conveyors, where magnetic sensors confirm full extension and retraction.
Automated Press Feeding
Delivers consistent 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to slide heavy sheet metal or composite blanks into stamping presses, with CMSG sensors providing cycle-count feedback to the PLC.
Large Gate or Diverter Actuation
Operates a sorting gate or diverter flap in a bulk-handling chute. The adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the moving gate at end-of-stroke, reducing noise and wear.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960S the Right Cylinder?
For higher force, step up to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a more compact actuator, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. At 960 mm stroke, the unsupported rod is subject to bending under side load—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 100 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style (no integral bracket).
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 SC100X960S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. For a quick estimate at your specific pressure, multiply the bore area (78.5 cm²) by your gauge pressure in MPa × 100.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet on the piston, which is required for AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors. The sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel without additional brackets.
