The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1300 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1300mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1300 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1300 mm stroke, built for applications requiring a long reach. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N of push force, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the thrust rises to 1130 N, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a body length A of 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1442 mm. The stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for this bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It includes PT1/4 pneumatic ports and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-travel.

Ideal for a conveyor diverter or pusher station where a 1300 mm stroke is needed to sweep products across a wide belt. The 628 N force at 0.5 MPa handles medium-weight packages efficiently.
Applies a continuous bead of adhesive across a large panel. The long, consistent stroke of the SC40X1300 ensures a smooth, uninterrupted motion profile for uniform dispensing.
Operates a tall sliding gate on a hopper or chute. The cylinder's extended reach allows the gate to be fully retracted into a compact overhead space, controlling bulk material flow.
Select the SC40X1300 when your application demands a long linear stroke with a moderate force output. If your load requires more push force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa. For a shorter, standard stroke within the 1200 mm limit, consider the SC40X1000 to avoid non-standard lead times.
For any stroke of 300 mm or more, and particularly at this extreme 1300 mm length, side loading on the 16 mm rod is a critical design factor. Unsupported overhung loads can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. It is essential to use an external linear guide or rod support to absorb lateral forces and ensure reliable operation. To replace an existing cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration exactly.
Quick checklist
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the SC40X1300 delivers a push force of 879 N. The theoretical maximum push force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf, though the normal operating range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, 1300 mm is a non-standard stroke for the 40 mm bore, as the maximum standard stroke is 1200 mm. This is a made-to-order configuration, which may involve a longer lead time and specific minimum order quantity. Confirm availability with your distributor.
