The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X130TC 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 SC40X130TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (879 N at 0.7 MPa). With a 130 mm stroke and a 16 mm diameter piston rod, it suits medium-duty linear actuation where the cylinder body needs to pivot during operation.
This model includes a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing as the load moves through an arc. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact for consistent cycle life.

The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as it actuates a diverter gate, directing packages or materials between conveyor lanes without binding the rod bearings.
Delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa for work-holding clamps on drill jigs or welding fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from hammering at the end of each cycle.
Operates discharge gates on agricultural hoppers. The pivoting TC mount accommodates the arc of the gate linkage, while TPU seals handle dusty, ambient-temperature environments.
Choose the SC40X130TC when your application requires a pivoting cylinder with moderate force. If you need higher thrust, step up to the SC50 bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a more compact footprint with lower force, the SC32 bore (402 N at 0.5 MPa) may suffice. The TC centre trunnion mount (part code F-SC40TC) is ideal for swinging loads, but ensure the pivot axis is aligned to avoid binding.
For reliable replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles; it is a tie-rod design specific to the AirTAC SC family.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, it generates 628 N extending and 528 N retracting. At 0.7 MPa, the extending force rises to 879 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so the mounting dimensions differ. Only replace another AirTAC SC40 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port thread, and TC centre trunnion mount.
