The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60SN 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 SC40X60SN is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet and NBR (nitrile) seals. It produces 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a capable mid-range actuator for clamping, pressing, and sorting tasks.
This model uses a 16 mm diameter piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, while the embedded magnet lets you mount CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
The built-in magnet and NBR seals suit clean-duty clamping fixtures where CMSG/DMSG sensors confirm jaw position before a machining cycle starts.
A 60 mm stroke provides a crisp divert motion on a conveyor line. The 628 N push force easily shifts small packages or components between lanes.
Delivers a controlled 879 N at 0.7 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowels into housings in light assembly stations.
Choose the SC40 bore when your application needs roughly 600–900 N of force at standard plant air. If you need more thrust, step up to the SC50 (982 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact actuator, the SC32 provides 402 N. The 60 mm stroke is a standard length well within the 1200 mm maximum for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the NBR seal material. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 628 N extending (push) and 528 N retracting (pull). At 0.7 MPa push force rises to 879 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1130 N.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection.
