About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230SFA
The AirTAC SC100X230SFA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 230 mm stroke, delivering a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). It uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections, making it suitable for heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The FA suffix designates a front rectangular flange mount (accessory F-SC100FA) for secure face-mounting on the rod end. With a body length A of 188 mm, its total extended length is approximately 418 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230SFA Is Used
Automated Press Fitting
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for bearing or bushing insertion stations, where the built-in magnet provides sensor feedback to confirm a complete press cycle.
Heavy Part Rejection Gate
Use the front flange mount to rigidly attach this cylinder to a conveyor frame. It reliably pushes heavy off-spec products onto a reject lane with consistent, high force.
Material Clamping & Fixturing
Deploy the SC100X230SFA in a welding or assembly jig. The 230 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading, while the 7068 N max force securely clamps large fabrications.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230SFA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application requires a push force around 3927 N at standard 0.5 MPa shop air. If you need slightly less force, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at the same pressure. For higher demands, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N. Always match the bore, 230 mm stroke, PT port thread, front flange mounting, and the integrated magnet when replacing an existing unit.
For this 230 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and aligned axially to prevent side-loading on the 25 mm rod. If side loads are unavoidable, consider adding an external guide rail system to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear.
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 SC100X230SFA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 7068 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 100 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT ports, front flange mount, and magnet.
