The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X600SLB 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 SC40X600SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 40 mm bore and 600 mm stroke suit medium-duty linear tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, plus an LB foot mount (F-SC40LB) for secure axial surface installation. The 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports provide reliable fluid connection, while the adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the load smoothly over a 21 mm cushion length.

Moves components between conveyor lanes or workstations with a 600 mm reach, using the LB foot mount for stable linear guidance along the machine frame.
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm clamp/unclamp status, ideal for automated jigs and fixtures in CNC machining cells.
Pushes cartons or trays onto a palletizer infeed with 628 N of force at standard plant air pressure, benefiting from the adjustable cushion for smooth, quiet stops.
Choose the SC40 bore when 628 N at 0.5 MPa meets the thrust requirement; if more force is needed, step up to the SC50 which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For lower force applications, the SC32 offers 402 N. At a 600 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads—external guides or a guided cylinder are recommended to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. For a direct replacement, match bore (40 mm), stroke (600 mm), PT1/4 port thread, LB foot mounting, and the integrated magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting type.
