The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1310S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1310mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1310 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1310 mm stroke, built for applications needing a long reach. This model delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
As a non-standard stroke exceeding the 1200 mm maximum for 40 mm bore SC cylinders, this unit is made to order. It features a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, and uses a PT1/4 port with an M12x1.25 rod thread. The body length A is 142 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1452 mm.

Pushes or pulls light components across a wide conveyor gap, using its 1310 mm stroke to bridge distant pick-and-place points.
Operates a clamping or cutting tool deep inside a machine frame where a standard-stroke cylinder cannot reach the workpiece.
Opens and closes a long row of roof vents with a single linear motion, leveraging the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move the linkage.
Choose the SC40X1310 when your application requires a 40 mm bore with a stroke beyond the standard 1200 mm limit. If 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to a 50 mm bore (SC50) provides 825 N of pull force. For strokes of this length, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and seals.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 40 mm bore, 1310 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic (no integrated) mounting, and no built-in magnet. This ensures a direct functional swap for another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 879 N of push force and 753 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1130 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
For any stroke over 300 mm, and especially a 1310 mm stroke, never allow the rod to take a side load. Mount the load on an external linear guide rail and connect it to the rod end with a floating joint or rod-alignment coupler. This prevents bending moments from damaging the rod bearing, piston seals, and the rod itself.
