The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X175S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X175S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration, making it suitable for medium-duty linear tasks where sensor feedback is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (suffix -S), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position detection. With a body length A of 142 mm, the total extended length is approximately 317 mm, fitting compact machine layouts.

The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm clamp position, ideal for automated workholding in CNC and assembly fixtures.
Use the 175 mm stroke to actuate diverter gates on conveyor lines, with magnetic sensors verifying open/closed state for the control system.
Provides a 628 N push force for linear feeders in pick-and-place stations, where the sensor confirms part presence before the next cycle.
For applications needing more force, the SC50 series offers 982 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If a shorter overall length is required, consider stepping down to the SC32 bore. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five key points: bore (40 mm), stroke (175 mm), PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. For strokes of 175 mm, ensure the load is guided if any side forces are present to protect the rod bearing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 628 N pushing force and 528 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so you can clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
