The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X220 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 220mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X220 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 220 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 port provide a balanced combination of strength and flow for medium-duty linear tasks.
With a body length A of 142 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 362 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a cushion length of 21 mm, decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact, making this genuine AirTAC unit a reliable choice for consistent cycling applications.

The 628 N push force at standard shop air pressure is ideal for diverting packages or parts on a conveyor line, providing a crisp, repeatable motion for sorting and routing.
With a 16 mm rod and adjustable cushion, the SC40X220 applies controlled force for holding workpieces during machining, gluing, or assembly without jarring the fixture.
The 220 mm stroke offers enough reach to push cartons or products into a case packer or label applicator, and the TPU seals handle the fast cycle rates common in packaging.
Choose the SC40X220 when your application requires a compact cylinder with a force output between the smaller SC32 (402 N at 0.5 MPa) and the larger SC50 (982 N at 0.5 MPa). This 220 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 40 mm bore, which supports strokes up to 1200 mm.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: the 40 mm bore, the 220 mm stroke, the PT1/4 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only use it to replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
