The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X360S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 360mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X360S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 40 mm bore with a 360 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 628 N pushing force (528 N pulling), stepping up to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. With a body length A of 142 mm, the total extended length is approximately 502 mm. The standard temperature range is -20 to +70 °C with the default TPU/NBR seals.

The 360 mm stroke moves components between conveyor lanes, while the built-in magnet lets CMSG sensors confirm end-of-stroke position to the PLC for reliable sequencing.
Delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa to hold workpieces during gluing or fastening. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from hammering at the end of the 360 mm travel.
Operates a diverter gate on a packaging line. The magnetic piston enables non-contact position feedback, even in dusty environments, without adding external flags or brackets.
Choose the SC40 bore 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 strokes of 300 mm and above, like this 360 mm unit, ensure the rod is guided externally if side loads are present—the 16 mm rod can bend under lateral force when fully extended. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the basic mounting style (no bracket), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approximately 5 bar), the pushing force is 628 N and the pulling force is 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N. These values assume a standard double-acting configuration with compressed air supplied to the appropriate port.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC40X360S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without mechanical contact.
