About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10FA
The SC100X10FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a very short 10 mm stroke, this model is built for high-force clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where minimal linear travel is required.
This configuration includes an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) for rigid panel or end-face mounting. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT 1/2 ports handle high flow rates, while the adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 10 mm stroke smoothly despite the high mass of the 100 mm bore piston assembly.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10FA Is Used
High-Force Clamping
The 3927 N output at 0.5 MPa makes this 10 mm stroke cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamps and presses that need a short, powerful push to hold workpieces during machining or assembly.
Ejection & Stamping
Delivers a rapid, short-throw punch for ejecting parts from dies or stamping light-gauge materials. The front flange mount ensures the cylinder stays rigidly aligned under impact loads.
Diverter Gates
Use the SC100X10FA to actuate diverter gates on conveyors. The short stroke quickly shifts a gate between lanes, and the 25 mm rod withstands the side loads from product impact when externally guided.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If 2500 N is sufficient, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces air consumption and physical size. For this short 10 mm stroke, ensure the mounting face is flat and perpendicular to the rod axis to prevent binding.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT 1/2 ports, FA front flange mount, and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X10FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3927 N, at 0.7 MPa it is 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X10FA is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod brake.
