About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300FA
The AirTAC SC100X300FA is a 100 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 300 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, making it a readily available configuration for medium-travel linear actuation.
This model includes the FA front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC100FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting on the rod side. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port threads handle high flow, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 801 kgf-class load smoothly. Standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300FA Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa actuates heavy diverter gates and chutes on conveyors, while the front flange mount provides rigid alignment to the frame.
Industrial Press Feed
With 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder reliably feeds blanks into stamping presses or clamps heavy fixtures during machining operations.
Automated Assembly Jigs
The 300 mm stroke and front flange mounting suit automated assembly stations requiring precise, repeatable linear movement for part insertion or riveting.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application requires around 3900 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you need more force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 300 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side load—if lateral forces are present, add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
As a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the non-magnetic piston (no -S suffix). This cylinder is a tie-rod design 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 SC100X300FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC100 bore generates a theoretical push force of 5497 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 25 mm rod reducing the piston area.
Yes, the FA designation means this cylinder is ordered with the front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC100FA) for rigid mounting on the rod side. For a replacement, ensure your existing setup uses this same front flange configuration, or consider the basic SC100X300 if no mounting accessory is needed.
