About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SFA
The SC100X30SFA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 100 mm bore and short 30 mm stroke suit compact clamping, pressing, or ejection tasks where high force is needed in a limited linear travel.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) for rigid panel mounting on the rod side. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 ports ensure robust flow, while the adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at end of stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SFA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
The 30 mm stroke and 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa make it ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining or welding cells where rapid, high-force actuation is required.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings. The FA flange provides stable, rigid mounting against the insertion force.
Product Ejection & Sorting
With its built-in magnet and CMSG/DMSG sensors, this cylinder confirms end-of-stroke position for reliable high-speed ejection or diverter gates on packaging lines.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30SFA the Right Cylinder?
For higher force in the same footprint, the SC125 series provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force class suffices, the SC80 delivers 2513 N. The FA front flange secures the cylinder to a panel or bulkhead, ideal when the load is aligned with the rod axis. For a genuine AirTAC SC100 replacement, match bore (100), stroke (30), PT port thread, FA mounting, and the -S magnet option to maintain sensor compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC100X30SFA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel to detect piston position.
