The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1150SN is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1150mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X1150SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 40 mm bore and 1150 mm stroke suit long-travel linear tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for rod-position feedback.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, helping to decelerate the piston quietly. NBR seals are fitted, and the total extended body length is approximately 1292 mm (body length A of 142 mm plus the 1150 mm stroke).

Moves components across a wide conveyor gap or between parallel lines. The 1150 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet support full extension and retraction confirmation.
Positions a dispensing head along a long linear axis. The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate tooling weight, while NBR seals suit standard shop air.
Opens and closes a tall access door or material gate. The tie-rod design is field-serviceable, and the adjustable cushion reduces end-of-stroke shock.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more rigid setup is acceptable, the 32 mm bore SC32 series offers 402 N. At 1150 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is relatively slender; avoid unguided side loads that can bend the rod or damage the bearing. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder for offset loads. When replacing, match bore (40 mm), stroke (1150 mm), PT1/4 port thread, the -S magnet option for sensors, and the NBR seal material.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel to detect piston position.
