About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130CA
The SC50X130CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure). Its 50 mm bore and 20 mm diameter piston rod provide a robust platform for medium-duty linear actuation, while the 130 mm stroke suits compact push-pull and clamping tasks.
This model features a rear single clevis mount (CA) for pivoting attachment, part code F-SC50CA. The tie-rod construction with a 150 mm body length (A) and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensures reliable deceleration. Seals are standard TPU, rated for -20 to +70 °C, with PT1/4 threaded ports.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130CA Is Used
Agricultural Equipment
Operates chute diverters and gate controls on harvesters and conveyors, where the rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to pivot freely as the mechanism arcs.
Sorting & Diverting
Pushes packages or products off a main conveyor line onto a branch. The 130 mm stroke provides sufficient travel for standard lane diverters in logistics hubs.
Clamping & Fixturing
Drives a pivoting clamp arm in welding or assembly jigs. The 982 N force at 0.5 MPa holds workpieces securely without distortion, and the air cushion reduces impact noise.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130CA the Right Cylinder?
For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series, which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force and lighter weight are preferred, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N push force. This 130 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for 50 mm bore cylinders.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. Always verify the clevis pin diameter and mounting interface dimensions against your machine's bracket.
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 SC50X130CA FAQ
At 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, port thread, and CA clevis mount.
