The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X60TC 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 SC40X60TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm bore and a compact 60 mm stroke, it features a 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, making it a robust actuator for short-throw, pivoting applications.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (order code F-SC40TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot as it strokes. The body length A is 142 mm, and the adjustable air cushion on each end is 21 mm long, ensuring smooth deceleration in high-cycle setups.

The 60 mm stroke and 628 N force at 0.5 MPa suit pneumatic clamps and welding fixtures where the cylinder body pivots on a trunnion for part access.
Ideal for actuating small diverter flaps on conveyor lines. The TC mount lets the cylinder swing as the gate opens and closes under moderate back-pressure.
Used in mechanical linkages on packaging machines, where the 16 mm rod and trunnion mount convert linear motion into a short, precise rotary movement.
For higher force in the same compact stroke, the SC50 series offers 982 N at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter load, the SC32 provides 402 N. The centre trunnion mount is ideal for applications where the cylinder body must swing through an arc; ensure the pivot axis is aligned to avoid binding. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and confirm whether a magnet is needed—this model does not include the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At the standard factory pressure of 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the push force is 628 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1130 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 528 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 16 mm rod reducing the piston area.
Yes, the TC suffix means the centre trunnion is supplied with the TCM1 mounting bracket (part code F-SC40TC). For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and the trunnion mounting style. This model does not have a built-in magnet; if your sensor requires one, order the SC40X60STC variant.
