The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X153S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 153mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X153S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a non-standard 153 mm stroke, built with a factory-installed magnet for direct barrel mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Its 16 mm diameter rod and M12x1.25 knuckle thread provide solid mechanical connection for push/pull tasks.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N extending force and 528 N retracting force, rising to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly, while the PT1/4 port and standard TPU seals suit filtered-air systems from -20 to +70 °C. This genuine AirTAC cylinder is ready for position-sensing applications out of the box.

The built-in magnet lets CMSG/DMSG sensors confirm clamp closure at 153 mm stroke, ideal for automated fixture cycles.
Drives a diverter gate on a light conveyor, with 628 N force at 0.5 MPa and sensor end-of-travel verification.
Feeds components into a stamping or marking press, using the 16 mm rod and adjustable cushion for smooth stops.
Choose the SC40X153S when you need a compact 40 mm bore with sensor feedback. For higher force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore gives 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; for a smaller footprint the 32 mm bore offers 402 N. At 153 mm stroke the rod is well supported, but for strokes beyond 300 mm consider an external guide to protect the 16 mm rod from side loads. For direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT1/4 port, the -S magnet option, and the basic mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At 0.7 MPa push force is 879 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1130 N.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clip directly onto the barrel tie-rods without extra brackets.
