The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000STC 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 SC40X1000STC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 40 mm bore and a full 1000 mm standard stroke, it suits long linear movements in packaging and material-handling machinery.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and ships with a centre trunnion (TC) plus TCM1 bracket for pivoting installation. The 16 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/4 port ensures straightforward pneumatic connection.

The 1000 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot and push diverters or gates across wide conveyor lines, with sensor feedback confirming position.
Moves pallets between roller beds over a full metre of travel. The trunnion mount absorbs angular misalignment, while the 628 N force handles loaded pallets smoothly.
Provides the long, steady reach needed for adhesive bead application across large panels. Magnetic sensors enable precise mid-stroke positioning for complex patterns.
For higher force, step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a more compact build, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N. At 1000 mm stroke, the rod is fully extended well beyond the body length, so side loads must be managed with an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC40TC bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
It is not recommended. The 16 mm rod is slender at full extension, making it vulnerable to bending under side loads. An external guide rod or rail system is essential to protect the rod bearings and ensure reliable long-term operation.
