About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10SH
The AirTAC SC50X10SH is a compact-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 20 mm rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration even in short, high-cycle applications.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and Viton (FKM) seals (-H) that shift the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C. The 10 mm stroke and PT1/4 ports make it a precise actuator for hot-environment ejector or clamping tasks.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10SH Is Used
Hot-Environment Ejection
Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 150°C, making it ideal for ejecting hot-molded parts or operating near ovens and autoclaves.
Sensor-Confirmed Short Stroke
The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to provide end-of-stroke confirmation in tight spaces, perfect for automated sorting gates or high-speed diverters with a 10 mm throw.
High-Cycle Clamping
Generates 1767 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa. The short 10 mm stroke and durable Viton seals suit it for rapid, repetitive clamping of small components in aggressive environments.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter body is critical, the SC40 delivers 628 N. The 10 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always align the rod axis with the load to avoid side-load wear on the rod bearing.
When replacing, match five points: 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material (-H). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.

- ✓ 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 SC50X10SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the 50 mm bore generates 1374 N of push force. The pull force on the retract stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for the 20 mm rod area.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC50X10SH will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. The piston can drift. For load holding without live pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
