The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1300TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1300mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X1300TC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder built on a rugged tie-rod design, delivering 982 N of push force at a standard 0.5 MPa supply. With a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 1300 mm stroke, it is factory-configured for long linear movements where the centre trunnion mount (TC) allows the cylinder to pivot smoothly during operation.
This model features a 20 mm piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke to reduce impact. Because the 1300 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for the 50 mm bore, this is a made-to-order configuration, and the extended body length (A = 150 mm) plus stroke results in a total extended length of approximately 1450 mm.

The 1300 mm stroke and pivoting trunnion mount are ideal for pushing products off a wide conveyor line onto a perpendicular sorting lane.
Operates a long-stroke clamping arm in a welding or assembly jig, where the cylinder body swings to accommodate the arc of the fixture.
Controls a large diverter gate in agricultural processing, using the long stroke for full gate travel and the trunnion mount for the pivoting linkage.
Select the SC50 bore for mid-range force requirements; it provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs more power, step up to the SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). For lighter, more compact installations, the SC40 offers 628 N. At a 1300 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent premature seal and bearing wear. For a direct replacement, match bore (50 mm), stroke (1300 mm), PT1/4 ports, centre trunnion mount (F-SC50TC), and the non-standard stroke specification.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force on the piston rod extension is 1374 N. The pull force on retraction is 825 N at 0.5 MPa.
No, the maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. A 1300 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. For long strokes, ensure the rod is externally guided to prevent damage from side loading.
