The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60CA 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 SC40X60CA is a 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for moderate inline loads.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The mounting accessory code is F-SC40CA. Ports are PT1/4 with an M12x1.25 rod thread, and the standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 °C.

The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa and rear clevis mount make this cylinder suitable for pivoting clamp arms in welding or assembly jigs where the tooling needs to swing clear for part loading.
The CA clevis allows the cylinder to pivot as it opens and closes small chute gates or material diverters on packaging and agricultural lines, handling the 60 mm stroke requirement.
With a compact 60 mm stroke and 142 mm body length, this cylinder fits tight conveyor spaces to raise and lower part stops or pushers, where the clevis mount absorbs minor alignment shifts.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force profile is acceptable, the 32 mm bore SC32 series offers 402 N. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with another AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder.
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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting type.
