The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X600N is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X600N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 40 mm bore. With a 600 mm stroke, it suits medium-reach linear actuation tasks, while the 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, offering reliable sealing for general industrial air service. The PT1/4 pneumatic ports and standard PT thread keep integration straightforward. As a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, it brings consistent build quality to your automation project.

The 600 mm stroke moves components between conveyor lanes or workstations, with 628 N push force handling typical part-transfer loads in packaging and assembly lines.
Applies consistent clamping force in woodworking or metalworking jigs. The NBR seals and adjustable cushioning provide controlled, repeatable motion for precise fixturing.
Operates gates, diverters, or sorting mechanisms on harvesters and processing equipment, where the NBR seals and 40 mm bore offer a balance of force and compact size.
For a 40 mm bore, the SC40X600N provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load exceeds this, stepping up to the SC50 (982 N at 0.5 MPa) adds capacity without a large footprint jump. At 600 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length requires attention: side loads can cause rod bending or bearing wear. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. To replace an existing unit, match bore (40 mm), stroke (600 mm), PT1/4 port thread, NBR seal material, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it produces 628 N extending (push) and 528 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting type. Always verify the body length (142 mm + 600 mm stroke = 742 mm extended) and mounting hole positions before ordering.
