About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100G
The SC50X100G is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This model features a G1/4 (BSP parallel) port thread, making it suitable for systems standardized on G-type fittings. With a body length of 150 mm and a 100 mm stroke, the total extended length reaches 250 mm, fitting compact machine layouts where a genuine AirTAC actuator is specified.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100G Is Used
Part Rejection Gates
The 100 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates diverter gates on packaging conveyors, pushing non-conforming products into reject bins with crisp, repeatable motion.
Clamping & Fixturing
With 1767 N of clamping force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder secures workpieces on CNC fixtures and welding jigs, holding parts rigidly during machining or assembly operations.
Press-Fit Assembly
The 20 mm rod and tie-rod construction handle the repetitive impact of pressing bushings or bearings into housings, where the adjustable cushion softens end-of-stroke shock for longer seal life.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100G the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X100G for applications needing up to 982 N at standard plant pressure. If your load exceeds this, stepping up to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping down to SC40 offers 628 N for lighter, faster moves. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring off-the-shelf availability.
For replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G thread port, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles; it is a tie-rod design specific to the AirTAC SC family.
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 SC50X100G FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push reaches 1374 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N push. Theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf, but the maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length differ. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, G thread, and basic mounting configuration.
