The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200N 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 SC40X200N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 40 mm bore with a 200 mm stroke. It generates a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and can reach 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals as standard, making it a cost-effective choice for general industrial applications within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range. The cylinder body length A is 142 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 342 mm, with an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Provides the 628 N push force needed to actuate diverter gates on packaging and light material-handling conveyors, with the 200 mm stroke offering ample travel for chute switching.
Ideal for moderate-force clamping in CNC woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs, where the 200 mm stroke can accommodate varying workpiece sizes and the NBR seals suit standard shop air.
Operates levers and linkages on seed drills or small baling machines, delivering consistent force from standard tractor air systems within the -20 to +70 °C NBR seal range.
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact cylinder is sufficient, the 32 mm bore SC32 series offers 402 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and NBR seal material when replacing an existing unit.
At a 200 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads, but any significant side loading will require an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. The SC40X200N is a basic cylinder without a magnet or mounting accessories, so these must be ordered separately if needed.
Quick checklist
At 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 increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No, this specific model code does not include the '-S' magnet option. The piston does not have a built-in magnetic ring, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors cannot be used. For sensor compatibility, order the SC40X200N-S variant instead.
