The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60H 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 SC40X60H is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, built with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals that shift the operating range to 0–150 °C. At 0.5 MPa it produces 628 N pushing force and 528 N pulling force, making it suitable for moderate clamping and actuation tasks in hot environments.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 thread and PT1/4 ports. Its compact body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 202 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the piston to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
With Viton seals rated to 150°C, this cylinder operates reliably in autoclave door mechanisms, heated press jigs, and foundry equipment where standard seals would degrade.
Actuates diverter gates on conveyors carrying warm products, such as freshly baked goods or heat-treated parts, providing 628 N of push force for consistent sorting.
Delivers stable clamping force in thermoforming and plastic welding machines, where ambient temperatures are elevated and standard NBR or TPU seals would fail prematurely.
Choose the SC40X60H for force requirements around 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more thrust, the 50 mm bore SC50 series steps up to 982 N at the same pressure. For a smaller footprint, the 32 mm bore delivers 402 N. The 60 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore, ensuring quick availability.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five key points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mount (no brackets), and the high-temperature Viton seal designation. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not a direct drop-in for that standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical pushing force is 879 N and the pulling force is 738 N (calculated from the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa). The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N push.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (142 mm A-dimension for the 40 bore) than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
