The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60SFA 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 SC40X60SFA is a tie-rod double-acting cylinder delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 1130 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, making it a compact yet robust actuator for short linear moves.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position feedback. The front rectangular flange (FA, accessory F-SC40FA) mounts the cylinder rigidly to a panel or machine face, absorbing thrust directly at the rod end. Seals are standard TPU for a -20 to +70 °C operating range, and ports are PT thread.

The 60 mm stroke and front flange mount suit short-reach part ejection from fixtures or dies, with sensor confirmation of rod retraction before the next cycle.
Mounts rigidly via the FA flange to operate a gate or diverter flap on a conveyor line; the built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing for sequencing.
Provides 628 N at standard shop air to clamp test samples or hold small assemblies during inspection, with adjustable cushion to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Choose the SC40 bore when your application needs roughly 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, step up to the SC50 which provides 982 N push at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution the SC32 delivers 402 N. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: bore (40 mm), stroke (60 mm), port thread (PT), mounting accessory (FA front flange), and the magnet option (-S).
For strokes of 300 mm or longer, evaluate side-load and rod-bearing bending moments — an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod and seals from premature wear.
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, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching bore, stroke, port thread, FA front flange mount, and the -S magnet option.
