The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X360SFA 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 SC40X360SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm bore, 16 mm diameter piston rod, and a 360 mm stroke, it suits medium-duty linear actuation tasks where a compact tie-rod design is preferred.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel, and a front rectangular flange (FA, part F-SC40FA) for secure end-face mounting. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke end, reducing impact noise and wear.

Pushes components between conveyor lines with 628 N of force, using the front flange for rigid mounting to the machine frame.
Applies consistent clamping pressure in CNC jigs, with the magnetic piston enabling end-of-stroke confirmation via reed sensors.
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for light press-fit operations, with the adjustable cushion protecting tooling at the end of the 360 mm stroke.
Choose the SC40 when your application needs around 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, step up to the SC50 bore which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, like this 360 mm unit, ensure the rod is guided externally if significant side loads are present, as the 16 mm rod can experience bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 40 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, front flange (FA) mounting accessory, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the 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 that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, front flange mount, and magnet.
