About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40SFA
The SC100X40SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 40 mm stroke and 25 mm diameter piston rod suit short-throw clamping, pressing, and ejecting operations where space is tight.
This model includes a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) for rigid panel mounting. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length A to just 188 mm, making it shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40SFA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in CNC fixtures and welding jigs, with sensor confirmation of clamp position.
Panel-Mounted Ejection
The FA front flange bolts directly to a machine bulkhead, enabling rigid, repeatable ejection of parts from dies or moulds over a compact 40 mm travel.
High-Force Stops & Gates
Ideal for stopping heavy pallets on a conveyor line; the 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction withstand the impact when decelerated by the adjustable air cushion.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40SFA the Right Cylinder?
For higher force, step up to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact option, the SC80 delivers 2513 N. The short 40 mm stroke inherently limits rod-bearing side-load moments, but if the load applies any lateral force, an external guide rail is still recommended to protect the rod bearing.
To match this cylinder, verify five points: 100 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X40SFA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder (body length A is 188 mm). It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder matching the 40 mm stroke, FA front flange, and PT port thread.
