The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60SH 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 SC40X60SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a compact workhorse for medium-duty linear tasks. Its 60 mm stroke and 16 mm diameter piston rod are well-suited for short-cycle clamping, ejecting, and sorting operations where heat resistance is critical.
This model is equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The Viton (FKM) seal package (-H suffix) shifts the operating temperature range to 0–150°C, allowing deployment in hot environments like autoclaves or engine test stands where standard seals would degrade.

Viton seals withstand 0–150°C steam cycles, making this cylinder ideal for actuating doors, locks, and material handlers in medical autoclaves and sterilizers.
The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides ample clamping pressure for hot stamping, plastic welding, or soldering fixtures where ambient heat is present.
With a built-in magnet for sensor feedback, this cylinder reliably controls diverters and gates on conveyors moving hot parts from ovens or casting stations.
Choose the SC40X60SH for applications needing sensor feedback and high-temperature tolerance in a 40 mm bore package. If your force requirement exceeds 1130 N, step up to the SC50 series (982 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes over 300 mm, consider adding an external guide to protect the 16 mm rod from side-load bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: bore (40 mm), stroke (60 mm), port thread (PT1/4), mounting style (basic, no bracket), and the presence of a magnet (-S). This model also requires a Viton seal (-H) for full compatibility in high-temperature circuits.
Quick checklist
At 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 reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing.
