The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X230S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 230mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X230S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 230 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet. This magnet option allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing, simplifying automation integration.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 628 N of push force and 528 N on the pull stroke, rising to 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa. The 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports provide a balanced combination of strength and flow for general machine tool and handling tasks. Its adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 21 mm cushion stroke to reduce end-of-travel impact.

The 230 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet make it ideal for medium-reach diverter gates on packaging conveyors, where end-of-stroke confirmation is required for cycle safety.
Provides a clean, sensor-monitored stroke for opening and closing machine tool safety doors, with the 16 mm rod offering good resistance to bending under light side loads.
Delivers 628 N of clamping force at standard shop air pressure, suitable for holding components in leak-test or assembly fixtures where position feedback confirms the clamp is closed.
For higher force requirements, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 32 mm bore SC32 offers a more compact alternative at 402 N. This 230 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 40 mm bore. To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and any required mounting accessories. The -S magnet code is essential if your existing setup uses barrel-mounted sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the SC40X230S produces 879 N of push force and 739 N on the pull stroke. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel. Without the -S code, the cylinder cannot trigger these sensors.
