The AirTAC Airtac SC40 Standard Cylinder SC40X1460 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1460mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC40X1460 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 40 mm bore and an extended 1460 mm stroke, built for applications requiring a long reach in a compact footprint. This model delivers a push force of 628 N 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 a body length A of 142 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 1602 mm. The 1460 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for the 40 bore, making this a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps from impact.

Extends 1460 mm to push products off a wide conveyor line onto a perpendicular sorting lane, providing consistent 628 N force at 0.5 MPa for medium-weight cartons.
Operates a tall sliding gate on a bulk material hopper, using the full 1460 mm stroke to fully open or close the discharge chute with controlled cushioning.
Positions a dancer roll in a continuous web processing line, utilizing the long stroke to maintain tension over a wide range of material accumulation.
Choose the SC40X1460 when your application demands a long linear reach with a force requirement around 628 N at standard plant pressure. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the SC50 bore provides 982 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa. For strokes exceeding 300 mm, always evaluate side-loading conditions; a 16 mm rod extended to 1460 mm is susceptible to bending under lateral forces. In such cases, integrate an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key specifications: the 40 mm bore, the exact 1460 mm stroke, the PT1/4 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC40 bore generates a theoretical push force of 879 N and a pull force of 528 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N.
No, 1460 mm is a non-standard stroke (the standard maximum for a 40 bore is 1200 mm). To prevent rod buckling or bearing damage on such a long stroke, you must guide the load externally with a rail system and avoid direct side loads on the 16 mm rod.
