The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1500S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1500mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1500S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1500 mm non-standard stroke, factory-built to order. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N push force and 528 N pull force, rising to 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing barrel-mounted CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to detect piston position without external brackets. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length A compact at 142 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the 16 mm rod smoothly. The 1500 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for bore 40, so lead time reflects made-to-order production.

The 1500 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor lanes or workstations. The built-in magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation via clamp-on sensors.
Operates sliding guards or hopper doors with a 628 N push. Adjustable cushioning protects the end caps during high-cycle opening and closing.
Raises or lowers bins up to 1.5 m. Note that the cylinder does not hold position when air is exhausted—add a pilot-operated check valve if the load must be suspended.
Choose the SC40 when your application needs roughly 628 N of push force at standard plant air pressure; if you need more, the SC50 delivers 982 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For a 1500 mm stroke, the long, 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—fit an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 40 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and any mounting accessory (this model ships basic, so order an FA, FB, CA, CB, LB, or TC kit separately if needed).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) the cylinder pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensions are not interchangeable. Replace it with another AirTAC SC40 cylinder of the same 1500 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and built-in magnet, or confirm mounting dimensions from the datasheet before substituting.
