About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000TC
The AirTAC SC50X1000TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a strong mid-range actuator for long linear moves. With a 50 mm bore, 20 mm diameter piston rod, and a full 1000 mm stroke, this model includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications.
The cylinder body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1150 mm. It features an adjustable air cushion (21 mm) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, and uses PT1/4 ports with an M16x1.5 rod thread. The standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000TC Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls bins, pallets, or components over a 1-metre distance on roller conveyors. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the load moves.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force for large jigs or welding fixtures. The adjustable cushion prevents impact shock at the end of the 1000 mm stroke.
Agricultural Gate or Chute Actuation
Operates heavy sliding gates or diverter chutes on farm equipment. The tie-rod design is serviceable and handles dusty environments with proper air filtration.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1000TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore for push forces around 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, step up to the SC63 which provides 1559 N push at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 delivers 628 N. At 1000 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant—always guide the load externally or use a guided cylinder if side forces are present to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC50TC bracket, and no magnet. This model is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC50X1000TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC50 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position or load when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
