AirTAC SCF40 Valve-Mounted Tie-Rod Cylinder, 40 mm Bore

The AirTAC SCF40 is a double-acting valve-mounted tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 16 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 880 N push and 739 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.

All SCF40 versions share 1/4" air ports, an M12×1.25 rod thread and 21 mm adjustable air cushions. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 0.8 MPa (the cylinder alone is rated to 1.0 MPa and 1.5 MPa proof), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 93 stock order codes with strokes from 50 to 1000 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 1200 mm.

The SCF40 comes with an AirTAC 4M210 5/2 solenoid valve (internally piloted) mounted on the cylinder and piped to both ports with Ø8 × Ø5 mm PU tube, so there is no separate valve, fitting or tubing to install. The digits after the dash choose the valve port (06 = 1/8", 08 = 1/4", i.e. 4M210-06 or 4M210-08) and the letter after them the coil voltage; a trailing I gives a lead-wire coil instead of the DIN connector. The coil draws AC 3.5 VA or DC 3.0 W, is rated IP65 and responds in 0.05 s or less; the valve needs no lubrication and switches up to 5 times per second. Minimum stroke is 50 mm.
