The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X182 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 182mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X182 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, pairing a 40 mm bore with a 182 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 628 N pushing force and 528 N pulling force, rising to 1130 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, making it a capable mid-range actuator for general automation.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 rod thread and PT1/4 ports. The body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 324 mm. It features an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, and its standard TPU seals suit an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Moves components between conveyor lanes or indexing stations with 628 N of push force at standard shop air, ideal for pick-and-place of medium-weight parts.
Applies consistent clamping pressure in machining or welding jigs. The 182 mm stroke provides ample retraction for clear part loading access.
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for light press-fit or staking operations in benchtop assembly cells, with adjustable cushioning to reduce impact shock.
Select the SC40 when your application needs roughly 600–1100 N of push force. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC50 bore delivers 982 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution the SC32 bore provides 402 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 182 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic (no bracket) mounting when replacing an existing unit.
At 182 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads. If side loads are present even at this stroke, consider an external guide rail to protect the rod bearing from bending stress and premature seal wear.
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, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC40 cylinder of the same bore, stroke, PT port, and basic mounting configuration.
