About the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100FA
The SC40X100FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, fitted with a front rectangular flange (FA) for rigid end-face mounting. At 0.5 MPa it generates 628 N pushing force and 528 N pulling force, rising to 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, making it a capable actuator for medium-duty linear tasks.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length to 142 mm plus stroke, giving a compact installed envelope. Its adjustable air cushion softens end-of-stroke impact, and the TPU seals suit standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100FA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The front flange mount bolts directly to a fixture plate, and the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides secure workpiece clamping on CNC or assembly stations.
Part Stops & Gates
With a 100 mm stroke and rapid 30-800 mm/s speed range, this cylinder operates part-stops or diverter gates on light to medium-duty conveyor lines.
Press & Forming Tools
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for short-stroke pressing, staking, or light forming operations where the front flange ensures stable alignment.
Is the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC40X100FA when your application needs a front-flange mount for direct attachment to a machine panel or bracket. If you require higher force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore delivers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution the 32 mm bore provides 402 N at the same pressure.
For reliable replacement, match five points: 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, front flange FA mounting (part F-SC40FA), and the absence of a magnet. Always verify the mounting bolt pattern against your existing flange, as tie-rod cylinder dimensions differ from ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100FA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder produces 628 N extending (push) and 528 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port thread, and FA front flange mount.
