About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100FA
The SC50X100FA is a 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family. It generates a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod.
This model comes with an FA front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC50FA) for rigid panel or end-face mounting. The cylinder body length A is 150 mm, and with the 100 mm stroke the total extended length reaches 250 mm. It uses a PT1/4 port and standard TPU seals for a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100FA Is Used
Panel-Mounted Clamping
The FA front flange bolts directly to a machine panel, making this cylinder ideal for clamping fixtures in CNC machining centres where the 100 mm stroke provides ample jaw travel.
Part Stops on Conveyors
With 982 N of push force, this cylinder reliably raises and lowers part stops or diverter gates on packaging and assembly conveyors, controlling the flow of boxes or trays.
Press-Fit Assembly
The 1767 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa suits light press-fit or staking operations in automated assembly cells, especially where the cylinder mounts flush against a bulkhead.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 for applications needing around 982 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC63 bore which provides 1559 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 bore delivers 628 N.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The SC 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 SC50X100FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force rises to 1374 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N.
Yes, the FA front flange is a removable accessory. You can swap it for an LB foot mount, CA/CB rear clevis, or TC centre trunnion using the corresponding F-SC50 mounting kit, provided the cylinder body is compatible.
