About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980S
The AirTAC SC100X980S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion handle the deceleration of large inertial loads across a 980 mm stroke, making it suitable for long-travel material transfer and heavy-duty clamping.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 1168 mm. The cylinder uses standard PT1/2 ports and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980S Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
The 980 mm stroke moves heavy pallets or steel sheets between conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables mid-stroke position confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Heavy-Duty Clamping & Pressing
With 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder applies high clamping pressure in woodworking or metal-forming fixtures, where full stroke retraction clears the workpiece.
Automated Assembly Indexing
The adjustable cushion decelerates a 980 mm stroke carriage smoothly, protecting tooling. The magnetic piston allows sensor-based end-of-travel and intermediate position verification.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 3900 N of force at typical plant pressure. If you can accept less force, stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and weight. For higher force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. At a 980 mm stroke, the extended rod is long; any side load will create a bending moment on the rod bearing. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. For direct replacement, match bore (100 mm), stroke (980 mm), PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration.
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 SC100X980S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, provided the existing cylinder is an AirTAC SC tie-rod type with a 100 mm bore, 980 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, a built-in magnet, and basic mounting. The SC is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not a drop-in replacement for that standard. Always verify the port thread (PT vs. G) and the magnet requirement before ordering.
