The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X80FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X80FA is a 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for moderate linear tasks.
This model features a front rectangular flange (FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length to just 142 mm, making it a compact solution where space is limited. It uses PT1/4 ports and operates on standard filtered air from -20 to +70 °C with TPU seals.

The 80 mm stroke and front flange mount reliably push lightweight components off a conveyor line, with the 628 N force easily handling plastic or small metal parts.
Provides controlled 1130 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during light machining or assembly. The rigid FA mount ensures stable, repeatable positioning.
The compact 142 mm body length plus 80 mm stroke is well-suited for case packers, quickly tucking cardboard flaps before sealing with a firm, consistent motion.
Choose the SC40X80FA when 628 N at 0.5 MPa fits the load. If you need more force, step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact actuator, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. The front flange mount (F-SC40FA) rigidly secures the cylinder at the rod end, ideal for thrust applications where the body can be suspended.
For replacement, match these five points: 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the standard non-magnetic piston. This ensures a direct dimensional and performance swap with your existing AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, the push force increases to 1130 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC 40 mm bore cylinder matching the 80 mm stroke, PT port, and FA mount.
