The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1300S 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 SC40X1300S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 1300 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for 40 mm bore, making this a non-standard, made-to-order unit for applications requiring extended linear travel.
This model features a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 threads and PT1/4 ports. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise position feedback. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end is 21 mm long, decelerating the piston to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

The 1300 mm stroke pushes or pulls parts across wide conveyor gaps or between distant process stations, with sensor feedback confirming end-of-travel.
Provides a long, controlled linear pass for adhesive or sealant dispensing heads. The built-in magnet allows multi-point position sensing along the stroke.
Operates a slide gate at the bottom of a large hopper or silo. The 628 N force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate material head pressure, and the cushion softens the gate's end-of-travel shock.
Choose the SC40 when its 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa matches your load. For higher force in a similar envelope, step up to the SC50 bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC32 provides 402 N. This 1300 mm stroke requires careful management of side loads—an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your required mounting accessory. This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, and is a direct dimensional match only for another AirTAC SC40 of the same configuration.
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 increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
A 1300 mm stroke on a 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending. You must eliminate side loads by using an external linear guide rail system or by coupling the rod to a guided load carriage. The cylinder should only be used for pure push/pull axial force.
