The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130STC 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 SC40X130STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1130 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 40 mm bore and 130 mm stroke suit medium-force clamping, pressing, and transfer tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model integrates a built-in magnet for barrel-mounted CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part F-SC40TC) for pivoting actuation. The 16 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread maintain standard AirTAC connectivity.

Pivoting transfer arm actuation on packaging lines. The TC trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing, while the 130 mm stroke moves parts between two conveyor lanes.
Medium-force workpiece clamping in CNC machining centres. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts.
Operates a diverter gate on a material handling chute. The adjustable air cushion softens the impact at the end of the 130 mm stroke, reducing noise and mechanical shock.
For higher force, step up to the 50 mm bore SC50 series (982 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 32 mm bore SC32 offers 402 N. When replacing, match bore, 130 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mount, and the -S magnet option to ensure sensor compatibility.
At this stroke length, side loads must be avoided. If the rod experiences lateral force, add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 628 N extending (push) and 528 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (A=142 mm) than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, TC mount, and magnet.
