About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130
The SC50X130 is a 50 mm bore, 130 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982 N pushing force and 825 N pulling force, making it a capable mid-range actuator for clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly at end-of-stroke, and the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. The basic body length A is 150 mm, giving a compact extended length of approximately 280 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130 Is Used
Part Stops & Diverters
The 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily stops or diverts medium-weight packages on a conveyor line, with the 130 mm stroke providing ample reach across the belt.
Light Press & Clamp
Ideal for jigs and fixtures requiring a consistent clamping force. The 20 mm rod resists bending under direct axial loads, ensuring reliable part holding.
Assembly Station Actuation
Powers a push-pull mechanism in a semi-automatic assembly cell. The adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact shock at the end of the 130 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X130 when your application needs roughly 1000 N of push force from standard shop air. If you require more force, the SC63 bore steps up to 1559 N at the same 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, faster actuator, the SC40 provides 628 N. Always confirm the mounting style—this basic model has no bracket, so you will need to order foot (LB), flange (FA/FB), or clevis (CA/CB) accessories separately.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT port thread, no built-in magnet, and the same mounting accessory you are currently using. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in substitute for that standard.
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 SC50X130 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the pushing force is 982 N and the pulling force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It will only directly replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
