About the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000SH
The AirTAC SC40X1000SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 1000 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for the 40 mm bore, making it suitable for long linear movements in automated machinery.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot or chemically aggressive environments. It features a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 threads and PT1/4 ports.

Where the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000SH Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 1000 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations or work cells, with sensor feedback confirming full extension and retraction.
Hot-Zone Actuation
Viton seals allow reliable operation in ovens, autoclaves, or near heat-sealing equipment where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C.
Automated Sorting Gates
Operates large diverter gates in material handling systems, using the built-in magnet to trigger sensors for precise gate position control.
Is the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 32 mm bore SC32 series provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is needed, step up to the SC50 bore, which offers 982 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory, and magnet option.
With a 1000 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For this extended reach, use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure reliable operation. The total extended body length is approximately 1142 mm (142 mm body + 1000 mm stroke).
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 SC40X1000SH FAQ
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, the push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body than ISO 15552 profiles, so ISO 15552 mounts are not dimensionally interchangeable. Use AirTAC SC-specific mounting accessories, such as the F-SC40LB foot mount or F-SC40FA front flange.
