The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X2000 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 2000mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X2000 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 2000 mm stroke. This model delivers a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
As a non-standard stroke length exceeding the 1200 mm maximum for the SC40 series, this unit is built to order. The cylinder body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 2142 mm. It features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm length) to decelerate the piston near end-of-stroke, reducing impact noise and vibration.

Pushes or pulls lightweight components across a 2-meter span on assembly lines, using the full 2000 mm stroke for extended linear motion.
Moves a dispensing head along a long linear axis, applying adhesives or sealants with consistent speed controlled by the adjustable cushion.
Provides a 2000 mm vertical lift stroke for ergonomic handling of parts in a pick-and-place station, with the 16 mm rod supporting guided loads.
For applications requiring a 2000 mm stroke, the SC40 bore provides 628 N of force at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is needed, stepping up to the SC50 bore increases push force to 982 N at the same pressure. For lighter, faster cycles, the SC32 bore offers 402 N.
Given the 2000 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. An external guide rail or a guided cylinder configuration is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear. When replacing this cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 2000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration exactly.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N push.
No, the maximum standard stroke for the SC40 bore is 1200 mm. The 2000 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that requires special production.
