About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SFB
The SC50X100SFB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm stroke suits medium-shift clamping and pressing tasks where force density matters. The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-travel deceleration.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (suffix S) for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel, enabling clean electrical position feedback. The FB rear rectangular flange (accessory F-SC50FB) allows rigid end-face mounting to a machine panel, keeping the cylinder body cantilevered for easy alignment.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SFB Is Used
Clamping Fixtures
The 982 N force at 0.5 MPa and built-in magnet for end-of-stroke sensing make this ideal for pneumatic clamping stations where part presence must be confirmed before a machining cycle.
Part Stops & Gates
Use the 100 mm stroke to raise and lower part stops on a conveyor line. The rear flange mount simplifies installation onto a vertical bulkhead, and the adjustable cushion reduces impact noise.
Packaging Presses
Delivers a controlled 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa for pressing lids or inserts. The magnetic piston allows sensor confirmation of full retraction before the next product indexes into position.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SFB the Right Cylinder?
When 982 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, the SC50 keeps air consumption lower than stepping up to an SC63 (1559 N). If your load demands more force, the SC63 provides a 59% thrust increase. For a 100 mm stroke, rod bearing stress is moderate, but avoid direct side loading—use an external guide if the rod sees radial force.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, FB rear flange mounting, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod design is shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders and is not dimensionally interchangeable with them.
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 SC50X100SFB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At 0.7 MPa push force rises to 1374 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, so you can clamp CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel. The cylinder comes with an FB rear rectangular flange (part F-SC50FB) for rigid panel mounting at the cap end.
