About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60FA
The SC100X60FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke, factory-assembled with an FA front rectangular flange for panel mounting. At 0.5 MPa it produces 3927 N extending and 3681 N retracting, placing it in the 4 kN class for medium-heavy pneumatic tasks.
The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end deliver smooth deceleration. With a body length A of 188 mm, this compact actuator fits where a shorter footprint than an ISO 15552 cylinder is needed. The front flange (F-SC100FA) bolts directly to a machine face, keeping the cylinder body cantilevered for easy access.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60FA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamps and work-holding fixtures on CNC machining centres, where the front flange mount allows rigid attachment to a vertical panel.
Part Stops & Gates
With a short 60 mm stroke and front flange mounting, the SC100X60FA works as a robust part stop or diverter gate on conveyor lines, reliably halting totes or pallets up to its force rating.
Press & Assembly Tools
The 7068 N maximum push at 0.9 MPa suits light press-fit and assembly operations. The adjustable cushion protects tooling at the end of the 60 mm stroke during high-cycle pressing.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard plant air. If you can accept lower force in a lighter package, step down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For higher force, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. The 60 mm stroke is a standard length well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.
For direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mount, and ensure the magnet option matches your sensor setup (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC100X60FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC100 bore generates 5497 N of push force and 5153 N of pull force. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length A (188 mm for the SC100) are not interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder matching your stroke, port, and mounting.
