The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60N 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 SC40X60N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals for reliable performance in standard industrial environments. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force when supplied with 0.5 MPa air pressure, making it a capable mid-range actuator for clamping and pressing tasks.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, effectively decelerating the piston to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 202 mm.

Provides the fast, repeatable linear motion needed to stop or redirect packages on a conveyor line, with the 60 mm stroke offering a compact actuation distance.
Delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for pressing bushings, bearings, or pins into light assemblies, with NBR seals offering good wear resistance.
The 40 mm bore provides ample force for holding workpieces securely during machining or welding, while the adjustable cushion ensures smooth, low-vibration operation.
Choose the SC40X60N for applications needing up to 628 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load requires more thrust, stepping up to the 50 mm bore (SC50 series) provides 982 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For lighter, faster cycling, the 32 mm bore delivers 402 N.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, NBR seal material, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile design, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC series unit.
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 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 and is physically shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The mounting dimensions and body length are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore and stroke.
