About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10TC
The AirTAC SC50X10TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a compact workhorse for short-throw clamping and positioning tasks. Its 10 mm stroke is paired with a 20 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm to soften end-of-travel impact even in rapid cycling.
This model ships with the centre trunnion (TC) mounting configuration, including the TCM1 bracket (order reference F-SC50TC), which allows the cylinder to pivot around its centre of gravity. The standard PT1/4 port and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems operating from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10TC Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
The 10 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining and welding cells, where a firm, repeatable hold is needed without overtravel.
Ejector & Sorting Gates
Deploy the SC50X10TC in automated assembly for part ejection or diverter gates. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, accommodating slight misalignment in compact stations.
Packaging Line Stops
Use this cylinder as a pneumatic stop on conveyor lines. Its 20 mm rod and short stroke provide a rigid, fast-acting barrier for cartons or trays, with the adjustable cushion reducing noise and impact wear.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when your application needs around 982 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 40 mm bore reduces push force to 628 N, while moving up to 63 mm provides 1559 N. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for ejector pins, short pushers, or clamping mechanisms where travel must be minimal and precise.
For replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, TC centre-trunnion mount (with TCM1 bracket), and the non-magnetic piston. Always verify the trunnion pin diameter and bracket dimensions against your existing setup.
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 SC50X10TC 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 pressure of 1.0 MPa yields a theoretical push of 1767 N.
Yes, the TC code means the cylinder is supplied with the TCM1 centre trunnion bracket (accessory part F-SC50TC). The bracket allows the cylinder to pivot around its midpoint, which is essential for applications where the rod end travels in an arc.
