The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1015S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1015mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1015S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a non-standard stroke of 1015 mm, exceeding the standard 1200 mm maximum for this bore. It delivers a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for long-reach linear tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for position feedback. The 16 mm diameter rod and PT1/4 ports are standard for the 40 mm bore, with a body length A of 142 mm and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end.

The 1015 mm stroke moves parts between distant conveyor lines or workstations. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to confirm transfer completion.
Extends a dispensing head across a large panel. Position sensors clamped to the barrel provide precise stroke-end signals for consistent bead placement.
Pushes pallets or boxes off a staging lane onto a main conveyor. The 628 N force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate-weight goods with a long, smooth push.
Select the SC40 when 628 N at 0.5 MPa meets your load requirement. For higher force, step up to the SC50 bore which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For a shorter, standard stroke, consider the SC40X1000 which is the maximum standard length for this bore.
This 1015 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order. For strokes over 300 mm, especially with a 16 mm rod, avoid side loading which can bend the rod or damage the bearing. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. For replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet, and basic mounting.
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 increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The maximum standard stroke for a 40 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. A stroke of 1015 mm is non-standard and is produced on a made-to-order basis. The extended length will be approximately 1157 mm (body length A of 142 mm + 1015 mm stroke).
