The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1060 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1060mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X1060 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. With a 40 mm bore and a long 1060 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring extended linear reach, such as material pushers or long-stroke clamping fixtures.
At its core, a 16 mm diameter piston rod provides robust guidance, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The cylinder body length A is 142 mm, making the total extended length approximately 1202 mm. It features PT1/4 ports and an M12x1.25 rod thread for standard pneumatic connections.

Moves components across a 1060 mm span between conveyor lines or workstations, using its extended stroke for full-distance linear transfer.
Acts as a long-stroke pusher to index or divert boxes and trays on packaging lines, leveraging its 628 N push force for consistent product handling.
Provides a 1060 mm reach for clamping large workpieces in woodworking or metal fabrication jigs, with adjustable cushioning for smooth operation.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, a significant jump from the 628 N offered by this 40 mm bore model. If space is a constraint, the 32 mm bore SC32 series delivers 402 N at the same pressure. This SC40X1060 is a basic configuration with TPU seals, PT threads, and no magnet or mounting accessories.
Given the 1060 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For this stroke length, it is critical to ensure the load is guided externally with linear rails or rods, or to consider a guided cylinder variant, to prevent premature rod bearing wear and seal failure. For direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 1060 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder produces 628 N of push force on extension and 528 N of pull force on retraction. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
For strokes over 300 mm, always guide the load externally to prevent side forces from acting on the rod bearing. A misaligned or unguided load at full extension will bend the 16 mm rod and damage the piston seals. Use external linear guides or a self-guided cylinder for optimal life.
