The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X600TC 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 SC40X600TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, it is equipped with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, making it ideal for applications requiring the cylinder body to pivot during operation.
This model features a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 threads and PT1/4 ports. The total extended body length is approximately 742 mm (142 mm body length A plus 600 mm stroke). Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting end caps from impact damage.

The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing, making it perfect for actuating diverter gates on conveyor lines where the actuator must pivot to redirect packages or materials.
Provides 628 N of clamping force at standard line pressure, suitable for holding workpieces in CNC machining centres or welding jigs where the fixture body needs to rotate for clearance.
Used to control chutes or levers on harvesters and spreaders. The TPU seals handle standard outdoor temperature swings from -20 to +70 °C reliably.
For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the SC50 series, which provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For lighter, more compact applications, the SC32 series offers 402 N at the same pressure. This 600 mm stroke length requires careful attention to side loading; an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five key specifications: 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC40TC bracket, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
Yes, the 'TC' suffix indicates the centre trunnion mount. It is supplied together with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC40TC). This allows the cylinder body to pivot freely when installed.
