About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CB
The SC50X100CB is a 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This model is configured with a rear double clevis (CB) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The mounting accessory part code is F-SC50CB. The standard PT1/4 port thread and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems operating from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CB Is Used
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
The rear double clevis mount lets the SC50X100CB swing freely, making it ideal for actuating diverters or gates on material-handling conveyors where the cylinder body must pivot.
Clamping & Fixturing
With 982 N of force at standard shop air, this cylinder provides consistent clamping pressure for welding jigs, assembly fixtures, and light machining operations.
Packaging Machinery Linkages
The 100 mm stroke and pivoting clevis mount suit mechanical linkages in carton erectors and case packers, where the cylinder drives a folding or pressing action through an arc.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100CB the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force and smaller footprint are acceptable, the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five key points: 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear double clevis (CB) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC50X100CB 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 reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, CB rear clevis mount, and PT port thread.
