About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CA
The AirTAC SC50X100CA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a compact yet powerful solution for linear actuation.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The body length A is 150 mm, and the adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends is 21 mm, ensuring smooth deceleration. It uses a PT1/4 port and operates reliably with filtered air from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CA Is Used
Agricultural Machinery
Pivoting linkage actuation on tillage or harvesting equipment, where the rear clevis allows the cylinder to follow an arc during lift and lower cycles.
Clamping & Fixturing
Swing-clamp mechanisms in welding jigs, providing 982 N of clamping force at standard line pressure with a compact 100 mm stroke.
Diverting Gates
Operating diverter flaps on material handling lines, using the rear pivot to swing the gate open and closed under load.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X100CA when your application requires a pivoting mount at the rear cap. The rear single clevis (F-SC50CA) allows angular movement, making it suitable for applications where the cylinder body needs to swing. For higher force, consider stepping up to the 63 mm bore, which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For a fixed, surface-mounted installation, the LB foot mount is a direct alternative.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the CA rear clevis mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC50X100CA 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, the push force increases to 1767 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It requires AirTAC-specific mounting accessories like the CA clevis (F-SC50CA).
