About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900FA
The AirTAC SC100X900FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 900 mm stroke make it a workhorse for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model features an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC100FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port ensure robust air flow, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end protects the cylinder from end-of-stroke impact at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900FA Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Provides the high force needed to push heavy packages or pallets off a main conveyor line onto a spur, using the front flange for rigid mounting to the conveyor frame.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers controlled, high-force linear motion for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings in automated assembly cells, leveraging the 3927 N push at standard shop air.
Agricultural Equipment
Actuates heavy gates, chutes, or hopper doors on farming machinery, where the robust tie-rod construction and front flange mount withstand dusty, high-vibration environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900FA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If a higher thrust is required, step up to the SC125 bore offering 6136 N. At a 900 mm stroke, the piston rod is fully supported by the front flange, but any external side load must be managed with an external guide system to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. To replace an existing cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT1/2 thread, FA front flange mount, and confirm the magnet requirement.
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 SC100X900FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N and the pull force on the return stroke is 3681 N. These figures are based on the 100 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
The FA flange is an integral part of this ordering code. However, the mounting is modular. You can order a different mounting accessory like an LB foot mount (F-SC100LB) or TC centre trunnion (F-SC100TC) and swap it, provided the cylinder body has the necessary grooves or features for the new mount.
