The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000SLB 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 SC40X1000SLB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm bore and a full 1000 mm stroke, it suits long linear movements in material handling and automation where consistent pneumatic power is needed.
This model includes a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The LB foot mount (F-SC40LB) provides stable axial support on machine bases. Its 16 mm rod and PT1/4 ports handle standard industrial air supply, while the 21 mm air cushion protects the end caps during high-speed cycling.

Pushes or pulls components 1000 mm along a conveyor line, with sensor feedback confirming full extension and retraction.
Drives a glue head across a 1-meter workpiece, using the magnet to signal position and the cushion to prevent vibration at stroke ends.
Operates a long-travel gate or stop in low-headroom pallet systems, mounted securely via LB feet on the frame.
Choose the SC40 when your application needs around 628 N at standard shop air. If you need more force, step up to the SC50 bore which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For side loads or a 1000 mm stroke, an external guide rail is strongly recommended to protect the 16 mm rod from bending stress.
For replacement, match these five points: 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT port thread, LB foot mounting, and the -S magnet option. This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not dimensionally interchangeable with it.
Quick checklist
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.
Yes, for any stroke of 300 mm or more, especially with side loads, an external guide rail or guided cylinder is recommended. The 16 mm rod can bend under side force if unsupported over a long extension.
