The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X152 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 152mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X152 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 40 mm bore and 152 mm stroke, it uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, making it a solid mid-range actuator for general industrial automation.
This model features a body length of 142 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C. As a genuine AirTAC SC series cylinder, it offers a compact tie-rod design that is shorter than typical ISO 15552 cylinders.

Provides the 628 N push force needed to divert medium-weight packages and products on conveyor lines, with adjustable cushioning for gentle stops.
Ideal for pneumatic clamping in machining and assembly jigs where a consistent 40 mm bore force holds workpieces securely during processing.
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for light pressing, embossing, or forming operations in benchtop automation systems.
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the SC50 series which provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter footprint is required, the SC32 delivers 402 N. This 152 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 40 mm bore, which supports strokes up to 1200 mm.
When replacing an existing unit, match five key points: bore (40 mm), stroke (152 mm), port thread (PT1/4), mounting style (basic), and magnet option (none). For strokes over 300 mm, always evaluate side-loading conditions; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
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 dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not a drop-in replacement. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 40 mm bore, 152 mm stroke, and PT1/4 port thread.
