About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800FA
The SC100X800FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with an 800 mm stroke. This configuration generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to a powerful 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy linear actuation tasks.
Equipped with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and an M20x1.5 rod thread, the unit features an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. The FA suffix designates a front rectangular flange mount (accessory F-SC100FA), allowing secure attachment to a machine panel via the rod-end face. Its PT1/2 ports and standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800FA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
Provides the high force needed to push heavy pallets or bins laterally between conveyor lanes, with the front flange mount ensuring rigid alignment to the frame.
Heavy-Duty Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large weldments or castings during machining, where the front flange allows direct bolting to a fixture plate.
Baler and Compactor Ejection
Generates the sustained thrust required to eject compacted material bales from a chamber, using the long 800 mm stroke to clear the full depth of the machine.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800FA the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore cylinder is ideal for applications requiring a strong push force, sitting between the lighter 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) and the larger 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). For an 800 mm stroke, careful alignment is critical; the 25 mm rod is robust, but significant side loading at full extension can cause bending stress on the rod bearing. An external guide rail or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to absorb lateral forces and protect the rod and seals.
For a direct replacement, match these five attributes exactly: 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, front flange (FA) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This ensures the new cylinder fits the existing mounting holes, piping, and sensor setup without modification.
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 SC100X800FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, never allow the rod to take a side load directly. Install an external linear guide or rod support to absorb lateral forces. The cylinder should only be used for pure push-pull motion; bending stress on the rod bearing will cause premature seal wear and potential rod damage.
