The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1430 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1430mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1430 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1430 mm non-standard stroke, built for applications requiring a long reach in a compact cross-section. Its 16 mm diameter piston rod provides a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty linear transfer tasks.
This model features a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 142 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 1572 mm. With PT1/4 ports and an M12x1.25 rod thread, it integrates easily into standard pneumatic circuits. Because the stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum, this is a made-to-order configuration.

The 1430 mm stroke pushes or pulls parts across wide conveyor gaps or between distant workstations, where a standard-stroke cylinder would fall short.
Operates clamping fixtures or welding torches that must retract fully to clear large workpieces, using the full non-standard stroke length.
Drives a diverter gate across a wide chute or sorting lane, leveraging the 1130 N maximum force to move heavy product flows reliably.
Select the SC40X1430 when your application needs a 40 mm bore with a stroke beyond the standard 1200 mm limit. If the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, consider stepping up to the SC50 bore, which provides 982 N at the same pressure. For strokes of this length, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bearing damage and ensure reliable operation.
For a direct replacement, match five key specifications: the 40 mm bore, the 1430 mm stroke, the PT1/4 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 628 N pushing force and 528 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
For a 1430 mm stroke with a 16 mm rod, side loading is a significant risk. An external guide or rod support is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending, uneven seal wear, and premature bearing failure.
