About the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000N
The AirTAC SC40X1000N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 1000 mm stroke, delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range linear tasks, making it suitable for long-stroke material transfer or clamping operations.
This model is equipped with NBR (nitrile) seals, offering good resistance to oils and wear in standard industrial environments. The PT1/4 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connections, and the cylinder's body length A of 142 mm contributes to a compact installation footprint relative to its stroke.

Where the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000N Is Used
Material Transfer
The 1000 mm stroke moves parts between conveyor lines or workstations, with the 628 N push force handling medium payloads in automated handling systems.
Waste Compaction
Applies consistent linear force for compacting recyclables or waste in small to medium baling equipment, benefiting from the NBR seals' oil resistance.
Woodworking Feed
Pushes workpieces through saws or sanders in woodworking machinery, where the long stroke and adjustable cushion provide smooth, controlled motion.
Is the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000N the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC40X1000N when your application requires a 40 mm bore with NBR seal compatibility. If you need higher force, stepping up to the SC50 series provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For a long 1000 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending on the 16 mm rod, which can cause premature bearing wear or rod buckling.
For direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and the NBR seal material. This cylinder is a standard tie-rod design and does not include a magnet; if you require position sensing, consider a model with the -S suffix or use external limit switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000N FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC40X1000N generates 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The maximum theoretical push force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC40 cylinder with the same stroke, ports, and NBR seals.
