The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X180 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 180mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X180 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 40 mm bore with a 180 mm stroke. It generates 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a compact body length of 142 mm, extending to a total length of approximately 322 mm. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly, and the standard PT1/4 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connections.

Provides 628 N of push force at standard plant pressure to halt totes or boxes on a gravity conveyor line.
The 180 mm stroke and adjustable cushion allow secure, vibration-dampened clamping of parts during light machining or assembly.
Reliable double-acting control for small sliding gates or chute diverters, with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC50 series provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter footprint is required, the SC32 offers 402 N. The 180 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting style, and confirm whether a magnet is needed. This model does not include a built-in magnet.
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. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder, so dimensions are not interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and port thread.
