The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1350 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1350mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1350 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1350 mm stroke, classified as a non-standard length requiring made-to-order production. It delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 16 mm diameter piston rod with M12x1.25 male threads.
With a body length A of 142 mm, the total extended dimension reaches approximately 1492 mm, making it suitable for long-reach material transfer. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, and the PT1/4 port supplies filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa. Standard TPU seals provide a working range of -20 to +70 °C.

Moves components 1350 mm across conveyor gaps or between assembly stations, using the 628 N push force at standard plant pressure to slide pallets or fixtures.
Operates a remote clamp or gate in packaging machinery where the actuator must be mounted far from the work point, retracting fully into a compact 142 mm body footprint.
Pushes totes or cartons off a gravity roller lane in a distribution centre, with the adjustable cushion softening the impact at the end of the 1350 mm travel.
For applications requiring less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore reduces push force to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If the 1350 mm stroke creates excessive rod deflection, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 16 mm rod from bending under side load.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 1350 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body, so no bracket is included), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile unit; it is a compact tie-rod design that is shorter than an equivalent ISO cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 879 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 528 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for the 16 mm rod area.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so the mounting dimensions and overall length are not interchangeable. You must match another SC-series cylinder with the same 40 mm bore, 1350 mm stroke, and PT1/4 ports.
