The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X150FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X150FA is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration, while the compact tie-rod body (A=142 mm) keeps the extended length to approximately 292 mm.
This model comes fitted with a front rectangular flange (FA mount, accessory F-SC40FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting at the rod end. Standard PT1/4 ports and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems operating from -20 to +70 °C, making it a practical choice for push/pull tasks in packaging and light assembly.

The FA front flange bolts directly to a machine panel, letting the 16 mm rod push finished parts off a fixture with 628 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Mounts through a bulkhead to extend a diverter gate across a conveyor lane. The 150 mm stroke provides ample reach for small to medium packages.
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bushings or connectors into housings, with the front flange absorbing the reaction force directly into the machine frame.
Choose the SC40X150FA when your application needs a front-flange mounting point and a push force around 628 N at standard shop air. If you require more force, step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N. The 150 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no special stroke order is needed.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mount, and the absence of a magnet. This ensures the same mounting envelope and pneumatic performance as the original AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) the 40 mm bore generates 879 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is lower due to the 16 mm rod area, delivering 528 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length A (142 mm) differ. Replace only with another AirTAC SC40 cylinder matching the stroke, FA mount, and PT ports.
