The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60S 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 AirTAC SC40X60S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N 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 medium-duty linear tasks.
This model includes the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The standard PT1/4 port and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems operating from -20 to +70 °C.

Operates a diverter gate on a conveyor line, with the built-in magnet confirming gate position via barrel-mounted sensors to prevent product jams.
Pushes light blanks into a stamping die. The 628 N force at 0.5 MPa provides ample power for sheet metal up to 1 mm thick, with sensor feedback for cycle counting.
Applies consistent clamping force on a laboratory test rig. The adjustable cushion reduces impact vibration, protecting sensitive instrumentation during repeated cycling.
Choose the SC40 for push forces around 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands higher force, step up to the SC50 bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC32 bore provides 402 N. This 60 mm stroke is a standard length well within the 1200 mm maximum for the 40 bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting. Always confirm the tie-rod body length A of 142 mm plus stroke fits your machine envelope.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet specifically designed for AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors. These sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel without additional brackets, providing reliable, non-contact position sensing.
