The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X125N is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 125mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X125N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 125 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, it suits medium-force linear actuation tasks where a compact footprint is required.
This model is configured with NBR (nitrile) seals and standard PT ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 150 mm, making the total extended length approximately 275 mm.

Operates diverter gates or stops on light to medium-duty conveyor lines, using the 125 mm stroke for reliable part sorting.
Provides consistent clamping force for jigs and fixtures in machining or assembly cells, with NBR seals for standard shop air.
Actuates levers or linkages on planting and harvesting equipment, benefiting from the tie-rod construction's serviceability.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If space is constrained and less force is acceptable, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N. This 125 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
When replacing this cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT port thread, NBR seal material, and the basic mounting configuration. The SC50 is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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, the push force reaches 1767 N.
No. The SC50X125N is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, an external rod brake, pilot-operated check valve, or mechanical lock is required.
