The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X365S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 365mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X365S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 40 mm bore with a 365 mm stroke. It generates a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a capable mid-range actuator for general automation. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable pneumatic 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 507 mm. The standard operating temperature range is -20 to +70 °C with the default TPU/NBR seals.

Provides the mid-range force and 365 mm stroke needed to push cartons off a main conveyor line onto a sorting spur, with sensors confirming full extension and retraction.
Delivers 628 N of consistent clamping force at 0.5 MPa for holding parts during light CNC machining or assembly, with magnetic sensors verifying the clamp position.
Actuates a small parts bin through a 365 mm linear stroke to tip contents onto a take-away conveyor, using the adjustable cushion to manage the load at the end of travel.
Select the SC40 bore when your application requires a force between 528 N (pull) and 628 N (push) at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands more force, stepping up to the SC50 bore provides 982 N of push force at the same pressure. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC32 bore delivers 402 N. Always match the replacement cylinder on bore, stroke, PT port thread, and the built-in magnet (-S suffix) to ensure sensor compatibility.
With a 365 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is cantilevered significantly when fully extended. Any side load, even a small one, can create a bending moment on the rod bearing. For applications where the load is not guided externally, consider adding an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent premature rod bearing and seal wear.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC40X365S indicates a built-in magnet is integrated into the piston. This allows you to mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
