About the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200
The SC40X200 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder offering a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports suit general pneumatic automation tasks requiring a compact footprint.
This model features a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 342 mm. It operates on filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C using durable TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200 Is Used
Material Sorting Gates
Actuates diverter gates on packaging lines. The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shifts products between conveyor lanes with a 200 mm stroke.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping pressure for woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs. The adjustable cushion prevents workpiece vibration at the end of the 200 mm stroke.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers a controlled 1130 N of force at 0.9 MPa for inserting bearings or bushings. The tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance in high-cycle assembly stations.
Is the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If a shorter overall length is required, the 32 mm bore SC32 delivers 402 N. This basic model ships without a magnet or mounting accessories, allowing you to add exactly the brackets your design needs.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (if any), and the magnet option (-S). At 200 mm, the stroke is well within standard limits, but always align the rod axially with the load to prevent side-load wear on the rod bearing and piston seals.
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 SC40X200 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force 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 of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder with matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
