The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100N is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X100N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke suit compact linear actuation tasks where NBR seals are preferred for their nitrile compatibility.
This model uses a 16 mm piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The integral adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The NBR seal material provides reliable sealing for standard industrial air systems.

Provides a crisp 100 mm stroke to eject small plastic or metal parts from an injection molding or stamping die, with NBR seals tolerating residual oil mist.
Operates a lightweight diverter flap on a conveyor line, using the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably direct packages or components.
Applies consistent clamping force in a laboratory or production test rig, where the adjustable cushion prevents vibration and part disturbance at stroke end.
Choose the SC40X100N for light pressing, clamping, or sorting where force requirements align with its 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, step up to the SC50 (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for less force in a smaller envelope, the SC32 offers 402 N.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. This NBR-sealed version substitutes directly for another SC40X100N or equivalent tie-rod unit with matching dimensions.
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. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable. It must replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder or a unit with identical bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting dimensions.
