About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SH
The AirTAC SC50X100SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm stroke suits medium-travel clamping and positioning tasks in high-temperature environments.
This model carries the -S magnet suffix, embedding a magnetic piston ring that lets CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C and providing strong resistance to aggressive media.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
Viton seals enable reliable operation in autoclaves, drying ovens, and sterilisation equipment where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C.
Sensor-Monitored Clamping
The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke detection via barrel-mounted sensors, confirming clamp position in automated assembly fixtures.
High-Temp Part Ejection
With 1767 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder ejects hot-formed parts from moulds or conveyor lines without seal degradation.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X100SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when 40 mm bore force (628 N at 0.5 MPa) is marginal. The 20 mm rod and PT1/4 ports suit compact pneumatic circuits. For strokes beyond 300 mm, evaluate side-load bending moments on the rod; an external guide or guided cylinder may be required.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material. The SC is a tie-rod design 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 SC50X100SH 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, push force reaches 1767 N.
Yes. The -H suffix indicates Viton (FKM) seals, which extend the operating temperature range from the standard -20 to +70 °C up to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for hot or chemically aggressive environments.
