About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SFA
The SC100X100SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a compact yet powerful linear motion solution for medium-duty industrial tasks.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) allows secure panel or bulkhead mounting, while the standard PT1/2 port and TPU seals suit filtered-air environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SFA Is Used
Part Ejection & Sorting
The 100 mm stroke and fast 30-800 mm/s speed range make this cylinder ideal for ejecting parts from conveyors or diverting packages in sorting lines, with the magnetic piston confirming each cycle.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivering up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, the SC100X100SFA securely holds workpieces during machining or welding. The front flange mount ensures rigid, aligned attachment to the fixture plate.
Press & Assembly Tools
Use this cylinder in small pneumatic presses for bearing insertion, riveting, or staking. The sensor-ready magnet allows the control system to verify full extension and retraction for quality assurance.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SFA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between 3927 N (at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your load demands more, step up to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: bore, stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC100X100SFA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC100X100SFA indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to directly clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
