About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30FB
The SC100X30FB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 100 mm bore. With a short 30 mm stroke, it is built for clamping, pressing, and ejector stations where the load is mounted directly behind the cylinder on a rigid panel via the rear rectangular flange.
This model includes the FB rear flange (part F-SC100FB) for secure end-face mounting. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports ensure rapid air exchange, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly even in high-cycle short-stroke applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30FB Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixtures
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa and short 30 mm stroke make it ideal for pneumatic toggle clamps and welding jigs where the cylinder is mounted behind the fixture plate via the FB flange.
Die-Casting Ejectors
Delivers a sharp, powerful push to eject parts from molds. The rear flange mounting keeps the cylinder body rigidly aligned with the ejector pin axis.
Punch Press Actuation
Provides the high thrust needed for light punching or stamping operations. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact energy at the end of the 30 mm stroke, protecting tooling.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30FB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 for force-intensive tasks up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. If your application needs less force, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and may reduce air consumption. For strokes over 300 mm, evaluate side-loading on the rod; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing. When replacing, match bore (100), stroke (30), PT port thread, FB rear flange mount, and the non-magnetic piston configuration.
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 SC100X30FB FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC100 bore generates 5497 N of push force. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, reflecting the area reduction from the 25 mm rod.
The FB suffix specifies a rear rectangular flange (F-SC100FB). For front-face mounting, order the FA variant (F-SC100FA). The mounting accessory must match the mounting holes on your machine panel.
