The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1400S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1400mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1400S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1400 mm stroke, built for long-reach linear applications. The -S suffix denotes a factory-installed magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors along the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback without external brackets.
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, this cylinder delivers 628 N of pushing force and 528 N on the pull stroke, with a maximum operating thrust of 1130 N at 0.9 MPa. The 16 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage end-of-stroke deceleration, though the 1400 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for the 40 bore, making this a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.

The 1400 mm reach moves components between distant conveyor stations or work cells, with the magnetic piston enabling end-of-stroke sensor confirmation for automated sequencing.
Drives a dispensing head across a wide panel. The built-in magnet allows multi-position sensing to control flow rate zones along the 1400 mm travel path.
Pushes lightweight bins or totes off a high shelf onto a gravity chute. The 528 N pull force retracts the rod, and the adjustable cushion softens the return impact.
Select the SC40 bore when 628 N at 0.5 MPa meets the load requirement; if higher force is needed, step up to the SC50 bore which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For this 1400 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bearing damage and ensure reliable cycling.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 40 mm bore, 1400 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC40 tie-rod unit with the same configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 628 N pushing out and 528 N pulling in. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 1130 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
No. The maximum standard stroke for a 40 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. The 1400 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length. You must also use an external guide rail for such a long stroke to protect the 16 mm rod from side-load bending.
