The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X200SH 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 SC40X200SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). It uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads and PT1/4 ports, making it a capable mid-range actuator for general industrial automation.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and Viton (FKM) seals (-H) that shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C. The body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 342 mm.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
With Viton seals rated to 150°C, this cylinder operates reliably in autoclaves, drying ovens, and engine test cells where standard seals would degrade.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm full extension and retraction, ideal for automated clamping fixtures in CNC machining centres.
Directs hot materials on conveyor lines. The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates diverter flaps, while Viton seals withstand the radiant heat.
Choose the SC40 for applications needing up to 628 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC50 bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa) for a 56% force increase without a large footprint jump. For lighter, more compact needs, the SC32 provides 402 N.
At a 200 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads. If side loads are present, add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder, as tie-rod cylinders are not designed to absorb bending moments. For replacement, match bore (40), stroke (200), PT port thread, the magnet option (-S), and the basic mounting configuration.
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, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length are not interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC40 cylinder with the same stroke, port thread, magnet option, and seal material.
