The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X760S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 760mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X760S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 760 mm stroke, pre-fitted with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It generates a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and can reach 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model uses a PT1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread, with a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 142 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 902 mm. It is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and built for reliable industrial actuation.

The long 760 mm stroke and integrated magnet for sensor feedback make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on conveyor lines, where end-of-stroke confirmation is essential.
With 628 N of push force at standard shop air, it can raise and lower access panels or light machine guards in a vertical orientation, using the adjustable cushion to soften the stop.
Suited for pushing workpieces between conveyor belts across a 760 mm gap, provided the load is guided externally to protect the piston rod from side forces.
This 40 mm bore unit is a strong mid-range actuator. If your force requirement is lower, the SC32 series provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a significant force increase, stepping up to the SC50 delivers 982 N at the same pressure. Always ensure the bore, 760 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the built-in magnet match your existing setup.
At 760 mm of stroke, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For this stroke length, it is critical to use an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. The rod bearing is designed for thrust, not lateral force.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) it provides 628 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 879 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC40X760S indicates a built-in magnet is installed. You can directly clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the barrel to detect piston position without any additional mounting bands.
