About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X970S
The AirTAC SC100X970S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore, 25 mm piston rod, and a 970 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring a long, powerful linear push.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing. The standard PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections. Its 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end effectively decelerates the piston, reducing impact noise and vibration even under high inertial loads.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X970S Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Pusher
The 970 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for diverting heavy boxes or pallets off a main conveyor line onto a branch. The built-in magnet allows for end-of-stroke and mid-stroke position confirmation.
Automated Press Feed
Delivers a powerful, controlled motion to push large sheet metal blanks or composite panels into a stamping press or CNC machine. The adjustable cushioning ensures a soft stop, protecting the tooling and workpiece from impact damage.
Vertical Lift Assist
Provides the high force needed to raise and lower a heavy platform or lifting table in a warehouse. Paired with a pilot-operated check valve to hold the load safely in case of air pressure loss, it ensures stable and secure operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X970S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X970S when your application requires a force class around 3927 N at standard plant pressure. If your load demands more force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, faster-moving load, the SC80 bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) may be a more economical fit. For this 970 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loading; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To guarantee a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 970 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which has a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not a dimensional drop-in replacement for 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 SC100X970S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The '-S' suffix in the model code SC100X970S indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
