100 mm Stroke Pneumatic Cylinder

A 100 mm stroke (10 cm, 3.94 in) is a standard catalogue stroke and is available in every Fenitsa bore from Ø32 to Ø320. The stroke sets how far the rod travels and how much air each cycle uses; the bore sets the force.

Typical 100 mm stroke jobs: clamping and holding, pushing parts off a conveyor, short lifts and stops.

Force, Air and Buckling by Bore

Free air per double stroke at 6 and 8 bar; buckling limit with the cylinder pivoted at both ends (Lk ≈ 200 mm, safety factor 3.5).

At 100 mm every bore's rod carries more than its 6 bar push force, so buckling does not limit a pivoted cylinder.

Compressor Demand

Free air at 6 bar for 10 double strokes per minute.

Example: a Ø50 cylinder with a 100 mm stroke pushes 118 kg at 6 bar; at 10 cycles per minute it needs about 25.0 L/min of free air, or 1.50 m³/h.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 100 mm a standard stroke?

Yes. Standard strokes are 50, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 mm.

How much air does a Ø63 cylinder with 100 mm stroke use?

About 4.10 litres of free air per double stroke at 6 bar.
