The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X60 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 60 mm stroke is ideal for short, fast clamping and ejecting tasks where space is limited.
This model features a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 thread and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The body length A is 142 mm, making the total extended length approximately 202 mm. Standard PT1/4 ports supply filtered air, and the TPU seals operate reliably from -20 to +70 °C.

Short 60 mm stroke and 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa provide fast, repeatable clamping for CNC fixtures and assembly jigs.
Quick-extend action reliably ejects small parts from conveyors or forming dies, with adjustable cushioning to soften end-of-stroke impact.
Delivers up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa for light press-fit insertion of bearings, bushings, or pins in benchtop automation cells.
Choose the SC40 bore for compact force applications; if your load exceeds 628 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to the SC50 which provides 982 N. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this 16 mm rod, evaluate side loads carefully—an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no factory-fitted bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This ensures a direct functional swap for another AirTAC SC40X60.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa push force is 879 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1130 N. These values are for a double-acting cylinder in dynamic operation.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC40 or an equivalent tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, and port thread.
