The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60STC 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 SC40X60STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa. This model includes a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel, and a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. The 16 mm diameter rod provides robust guidance for linear motion.
With a compact body length of 142 mm and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, this cylinder decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The TC mount ships with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (F-SC40TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot freely as it actuates. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it is suited for general industrial automation tasks within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range.

The TC centre trunnion mount allows the 40 mm bore cylinder to pivot, making it perfect for operating clamps or fixtures that swing into place on assembly jigs.
With a 60 mm stroke and magnetic piston for end-of-stroke sensing, this cylinder reliably actuates diverter gates on conveyor lines, sorting parts by confirming gate position.
The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient to move light-to-medium machine guarding panels, with sensors confirming the guard is closed before a cycle starts.
For applications requiring a pivoting cylinder, the centre trunnion mount on this SC40X60STC is ideal, allowing the actuator to swing through an arc. If your load demands more force, stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For a lower force requirement, a 32 mm bore delivers 402 N.
This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure an exact match across five key points: 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting with the F-SC40TC bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, TC mount, and magnet.
