The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X600S 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 SC40X600S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for medium-stroke transfer and clamping tasks. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration, while the built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a 600 mm stroke and a compact body length A of 142 mm, this cylinder offers an extended reach without the bulk of an ISO 15552 profile. The PT1/4 ports and M12x1.25 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, and the TPU seals support operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Moves components between conveyor lanes with a 600 mm reach, using the integrated magnet for position feedback to the PLC.
Applies 628 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa for woodworking or light assembly jigs, with sensor confirmation of clamp engagement.
Pushes parts into sorting chutes based on sensor input, leveraging the long 600 mm stroke and magnetic piston for multi-position sensing.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC50 series provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. At a 600 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or self-guided tooling is recommended to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. When replacing an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and basic mount configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 628 N extending (push) and 528 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the extending force reaches 1130 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC40X600S denotes a built-in magnet in the piston, allowing AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for contactless position sensing.
