The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 130mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC40X130 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 130 mm stroke is a standard length within the 40 mm bore family, well-suited for medium-reach clamping and transfer tasks.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 threads and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The compact body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of 272 mm. It uses PT1/4 ports and operates reliably on filtered air from -20 to +70 °C.

The 130 mm stroke and 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates part stops and small divert gates on packaging and assembly conveyors.
Provides consistent clamping pressure for machining or welding fixtures, with the adjustable cushion reducing impact noise and vibration at end-of-stroke.
Ideal for pushing small bins or totes off a gravity roller lane, where the 16 mm rod is rigid enough for the short, direct push.
For applications needing more force, the 50 mm bore SC50 series steps up to 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. If space is tighter and the load is lighter, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. This 130 mm stroke model is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 40 mm bore.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five points: bore (40 mm), stroke (130 mm), port thread (PT), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and magnet option (none). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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.
No. The SC40X130 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock.
