The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X200FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, supplied with a front rectangular flange (FA) for rigid end-face mounting. It generates 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
This model features a PT1/4 port and adjustable pneumatic cushioning with a 21 mm cushion length, allowing you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration. The total body length A is 142 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 342 mm. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

The FA front flange bolts directly to a fixture plate, making this cylinder ideal for clamping jigs where the cylinder body passes through a bulkhead.
With 628 N of push force at standard line pressure, it reliably actuates diverter gates on light to medium-duty conveyor lines.
The 200 mm stroke and 1130 N max thrust suit assembly stations for pressing bushings, pins, or connectors into housings.
Choose the SC40X200FA when your application needs a compact 40 mm bore with front-flange mounting for panel or bulkhead installation. If your load exceeds the 628 N push force available at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to the SC50 bore delivers 982 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 16 mm rod from bending under side loads.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the FA front flange mounting (accessory F-SC40FA), and confirm whether a magnet is required—this model does not include the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it reaches 879 N push, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it provides 1130 N push force.
No, the FA front flange is designed for rigid, fixed mounting. If your application requires the cylinder to pivot, select a model with a rear clevis (CA or CB) or a centre trunnion (TC) mounting option instead.
