The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1000TC 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 SC40X1000TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa), driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod. With a 1000 mm stroke, this model reaches the maximum standard stroke for the 40 mm bore, making it a full-extension workhorse for linear transfer tasks.
This configuration includes the TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC40TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length A to a compact 142 mm, while the adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke.

The 1000 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations. The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as it extends, ideal for arcing transfer motions.
Raises and lowers safety panels or light guarding over a full meter of travel. The 16 mm rod and adjustable cushion provide controlled, quiet stopping at both ends of the stroke.
Pushes totes or bins off a main line onto a spur. The 628 N force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate-weight containers, and the trunnion mount absorbs the reaction forces smoothly.
Choose the SC40 when your application needs the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC50 provides 982 N at the same pressure. For a 1000 mm stroke, always check for side loads: a long, unsupported 16 mm rod can bend under lateral force. Use an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
For direct replacement, match five points: 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles due to its shorter tie-rod body.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC40X1000TC generates 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force on the retract stroke. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N push.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length A (142 mm for bore 40) than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting.
