The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X210STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 210mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X210STC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 40 mm bore and 210 mm stroke suit medium-force clamping, pressing, and transfer tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion mount (TC) with TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 16 mm diameter rod, PT1/4 ports, and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration. Total extended body length is approximately 352 mm (142 mm body length A + 210 mm stroke).

Moves components between conveyor lanes or indexing stations. The trunnion mount lets the cylinder body swing as the rod extends and retracts.
Applies consistent clamping force for gluing, welding, or assembly fixtures. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Drives a blade or shear through light sheet, film, or extruded profiles. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the cutting stroke.
Choose the SC40 when 628 N at 0.5 MPa covers the dynamic load; if more force is needed, step up to the SC50 (982 N at 0.5 MPa). For lighter, faster moves, the SC32 (402 N) may be sufficient. At 210 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported within the standard range, but avoid direct side loads—use an external guide if the load is not constrained linearly.
To replace an existing cylinder, match these five points: 40 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion mounting (F-SC40TC bracket set), and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the push force is 879 N and the pull force is 528 N (rod side). The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N push. These values are based on the 40 mm bore and 16 mm rod diameter.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It will not fit the same mounting footprint or interchange with ISO 15552 accessories. Only use it to replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port, mount, and magnet.
