The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1000mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1000H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for long-stroke applications in elevated-temperature environments. With a 40 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke, it provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads.
Equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, this model operates reliably from 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, drying ovens, and foundry equipment. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, while the PT1/4 port supplies filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa. Total extended body length is approximately 1142 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.
Viton seals withstand 150 °C steam cycles, making the SC40X1000H ideal for opening and closing autoclave doors or positioning medical sterilizer trays.
Delivers 1130 N at 0.9 MPa to push product carts through hot-air drying tunnels where standard seals would degrade.
Operates reliably near molten metal handling equipment, using the 1000 mm stroke for long-reach mould closure in high-ambient-temperature foundry cells.
Choose the SC40 bore when your application needs around 628 N at 0.5 MPa—stepping up to SC50 delivers 982 N, while SC32 provides 402 N for lighter loads. For this 1000 mm stroke, side-load management is critical: support the rod externally or use a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present, as the 16 mm rod can bend under unsupported side loads. When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT thread, and note that this model has Viton seals and no magnet—add -S if sensor mounting is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 628 N extending and 528 N retracting. At 0.7 MPa these values rise to 879 N push and 739 N pull (calculated proportionally from the 0.5 MPa data).
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than ISO 15552 profile cylinders—mounting dimensions and overall length differ. Only replace with another AirTAC SC cylinder matching bore, stroke, PT port, and Viton seal specification.
