About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X80FA
The AirTAC SC100X80FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke, supplied with a front rectangular flange (FA) for secure panel mounting. Operating on filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa, it generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The cylinder body length (A) is 188 mm, and the adjustable air cushion at each end is 29 mm long, providing smooth deceleration for the 80 mm stroke. The standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X80FA Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder suitable for heavy-duty workpiece clamping, pressing bearings, or forming sheet metal where a rigid front-flange mount is needed.
Material Rejection Gates
With an 80 mm stroke and high push force, this actuator can drive reject gates or diverters on wide conveyor lines, handling heavy packages reliably.
Die Cushion Actuation
The adjustable 29 mm air cushion and robust 25 mm rod allow this cylinder to manage the controlled return of heavy die components in stamping operations.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X80FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between 3927 N and 7068 N. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces air consumption, as the SC80 delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. The front flange (FA) mount, part F-SC100FA, bolts the cylinder rigidly to a machine panel via the rod-end cap, making it ideal for thrust applications where the cylinder body is supported from the front.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, front flange FA mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in replacement for those types.
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 SC100X80FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N, and the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, this specific model code SC100X80FA is factory-configured with a front flange (FA). The mounting is integral to the ordered part. For a centre trunnion pivot, you would need the TC suffix (SC100X80TC), which includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket.
