The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1300TC 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 SC40X1300TC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1300 mm stroke, built for applications that need a long reach combined with a pivoting mount. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N pushing force (528 N pulling), and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the thrust rises to 1130 N, making it capable of moving moderate loads through a full 1.3-metre travel.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied together with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC40TC), allowing the cylinder to swing as it extends and retracts. The 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration. Because the 1300 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for bore 40, this is a non-standard made-to-order length.

The 1300 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount let this cylinder swing into position to push or pull parts across wide conveyor gaps or between parallel lines.
With 1130 N of force at 0.9 MPa and a trunnion pivot, it can operate a heavy safety gate or a pivoting clamp that must swing clear of the workpiece.
Ideal for a long-stroke diverter arm in material handling, where the cylinder body pivots on the centre trunnion to redirect packages or pallets between lanes.
Choose the SC40 bore when your application needs around 628 N of push force at standard shop air; if you need roughly 50% more force, step up to the SC50 (982 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 1300 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is vulnerable to bending under side load — fit an external linear guide or use a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and no magnet (no -S suffix).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 628 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 879 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf, though 1.0 MPa is the maximum rated pressure.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length are not interchangeable. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, and centre trunnion mount.
