About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100FA
The AirTAC SC100X100FA is a robust tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for medium-duty linear actuation tasks. With a 100 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and features an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at end of travel.
This model is configured with an FA front rectangular flange (part F-SC100FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with standard PT ports and TPU seals, making it suitable for ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100FA Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder suitable for pneumatic clamping fixtures and light pressing operations where a front flange mount is needed.
Material Handling
Use the SC100X100FA for diverters or gates in conveyor systems, where the front flange allows easy integration onto a machine frame.
Machine Tool Actuation
Ideal for tool slides or feed mechanisms on machine tools, providing consistent double-acting motion with the convenience of a front panel mount.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application requires around 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa; if you need less, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N. For strokes over 300 mm, consider external guides to protect the 25 mm rod from side loads. Ensure any replacement matches bore, stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mount, and the absence of a magnet.
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 SC100X100FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling. The maximum operating thrust at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and FA front flange mount.
