The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X17 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 17mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X17 is a compact-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 40 mm bore and 16 mm diameter piston rod suit short, repetitive linear movements where space is tight.
This model features a 17 mm non-standard stroke, shorter than the typical 25 mm minimum standard increment. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, and the body length A is 142 mm, keeping the overall envelope minimal for tight machinery integrations.

Ideal for compact fixtures requiring a precise 17 mm linear clamping or holding action with 628 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Provides a quick, short-throw push to eject small parts from a conveyor or assembly nest, fitting into narrow machine sections.
Suitable for light pressing or staking operations where the 17 mm stroke is sufficient and the cylinder's 142 mm body length saves space.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If a longer standard stroke is required, the SC40 cylinder supports standard strokes up to 1200 mm. This specific 17 mm stroke is a made-to-order configuration. When replacing, match the 40 mm bore, 17 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting style.
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.
No, 17 mm is a non-standard stroke for the SC40 series. Standard strokes start at 25 mm. This model is a special-order configuration, so ensure the stroke length is correct for your application before ordering.
