About the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130S
The SC40X130S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 130 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 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range linear tasks.
This model includes the -S suffix, indicating a built-in magnet along the barrel. This allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors for precise, non-contact position sensing without external brackets, simplifying automation setup and cycle verification.

Where the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130S Is Used
Packaging Line Diverter
The 130 mm stroke and built-in magnet make this cylinder ideal for diverting cartons on a conveyor. Magnetic sensors confirm extend and retract positions, ensuring reliable product sorting at high cycle rates.
Small Part Clamping
Provides 628 N of clamping force for CNC fixtures or assembly jigs. The -S magnet allows sensor confirmation of clamp engagement, preventing machine start-up on an unclamped part.
Material Lift Gate
Actuates a small gate or stop on a gravity roller conveyor. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 130 mm stroke, reducing noise and vibration when stopping light to medium loads.
Is the Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC40X130S for applications needing up to 628 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load requires higher force, consider stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series, which provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. For lighter, more compact installations, the 32 mm bore SC32 series offers 402 N.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional swap. For strokes over 300 mm, always evaluate side-load conditions; an external guide rail is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical 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. These values assume a static load; dynamic forces should include a safety factor.
The -S suffix designates a built-in magnetic ring on the piston. AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors simply clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel's external tie-rod slots. No additional brackets or mounting hardware are required, allowing quick sensor adjustment along the full stroke length.
