About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150FA
The SC100X150FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 150 mm stroke is paired with a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod and a PT1/2 port for high flow, making it a strong actuator for medium-stroke clamping and pressing tasks.
This configuration includes an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) for secure end-face mounting, ensuring rigid alignment. The standard TPU seals provide reliable service in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, and the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end allows for smooth deceleration of moving loads.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150FA Is Used
Automated Part Clamping
Provides 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding workpieces during machining or assembly on automated lines.
Press-Fit Operations
The 25 mm rod and front flange mount deliver the rigidity needed for accurate press-fit insertions of bearings or bushings over a 150 mm stroke.
Material Stops and Gates
Controls the flow of heavy pallets or totes on gravity conveyors, using the cylinder's high force to act as a positive stop or diverter gate.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150FA the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a match across these five points: 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This tie-rod design is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with 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 SC100X150FA FAQ
At a typical factory air pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 5497 N. The maximum push force at 1.0 MPa is 7068 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with identical stroke, port thread, and FA front flange mounting.
