About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000SCB
The AirTAC SC50X1000SCB is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 50 mm bore and a full 1000 mm stroke, it is built for long-reach linear tasks where a pivoting rear mount is essential.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The CB suffix specifies a rear double clevis (fork) mount, part F-SC50CB, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during actuation. It uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads, PT1/4 ports, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the load smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000SCB Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls trays and pallets across a 1-metre span on packaging lines. The rear clevis mount lets the cylinder self-align as the transfer carriage moves.
Pivoting Clamp & Weld Fixtures
The double clevis rear mount allows the entire cylinder to swing, making it ideal for clamping mechanisms in welding jigs where the actuator must retract clear of the workpiece.
Grain Gate & Diverter Actuation
Operates slide gates or flow diverters in agricultural handling equipment. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000SCB the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore offers 628 N if space is tighter. At 1000 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is long and unsupported; any side load or off-axis force can bend the rod or damage the bearing. Use an external linear guide, rod alignment coupler, or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, rear double clevis mounting (CB / F-SC50CB), and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This SC tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000SCB FAQ
At 0.6 MPa (6 bar), the theoretical push force is approximately 1178 N and the pull force is about 990 N. The official datasheet lists 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa. For precise sizing, use the 0.5 MPa and 0.7 MPa values as reference points.
Only if the load is purely axial with zero side force. The 20 mm rod on a 1000 mm stroke is susceptible to bending under even small side loads. For any off-axis force, install an external guide rail or use a rod alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and piston seals.
