The AirTAC B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC40X700SFA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 700mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
This B52-SC40X700SFA is the copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of AirTAC's SC40X700SFA tie-rod cylinder. The B52- prefix designates a build where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, making it suitable for lines like ammonia systems and some battery, electronics, and chemical plants. The exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us.
As an SC40X700SFA, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a maximum push of 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. It features a 16 mm diameter rod, a 21 mm adjustable cushion, and a body length of 142 mm, giving an approximate total extended length of 842 mm. The built-in magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped onto the barrel for position sensing.

Use in a battery or electronics assembly press where copper contamination is prohibited. The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa is suitable for light pressing and insertion tasks.
Ideal for lifting a small access gate or shield in a chemical processing line. The 700 mm stroke provides ample travel, and the copper-free build meets material restrictions.
Deploy as a pneumatic stop on a long conveyor section. The 700 mm stroke allows for a wide stop range, and the front flange mount secures it to the frame.
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50X700, which provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, the 32 mm bore SC32X700 offers 402 N at 0.5 MPa. This model includes a front rectangular flange (FA) mount, specified by part code F-SC40FA, for panel or end mounting.
With a 700 mm stroke, be mindful of side-load and rod-bearing bending. An unsupported rod this long can bend under side load; use an external guide or consider a guided cylinder to manage this. When replacing a cylinder, match the bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory, and magnet option exactly.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The maximum push force is 1130 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure.
The B52- prefix indicates the copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the SC40X700SFA. It shares the same dimensions and performance. For replacement, match the bore, stroke, port thread, mounting, and magnet. Please confirm the specific material substitutions with us for your application.
