The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X100TC 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 SC40X100TC is a 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The mounting assembly includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC40TC), making it ready to install in applications where the cylinder must swing through an arc. The total extended body length is approximately 242 mm, and the adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long.

The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot as it actuates a diverter flap on a conveyor line, sorting packages by weight or destination with a 628 N push at standard line pressure.
Delivers 1130 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during light machining or welding. The 16 mm rod provides rigidity for repetitive clamping cycles.
Operates a sliding gate on a seed or grain hopper. The trunnion mount absorbs the arc of the linkage, and the double-acting design ensures positive opening and closing under load.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If space is constrained, the 32 mm bore SC32 delivers 402 N. This 100 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 40 mm bore.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC40TC bracket, and the standard TPU seal. This cylinder does not have a built-in magnet, so if sensor feedback is needed, consider the -S magnet variant or use external limit switches.
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 increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Replace only with another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder matching the 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and TC mount.
