About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130FA
The AirTAC SC50X130FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 130 mm stroke, factory-assembled with an FA front rectangular flange for rigid panel mounting. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 982 N and pulls 825 N, rising to a robust 1767 N push force at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 port connections. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, while the 150 mm body length A keeps the overall extended dimension compact at 280 mm. The standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130FA Is Used
Panel-Mounted Clamping
The FA front flange bolts directly to a machine bulkhead, letting the 50 mm bore apply 982 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa for jigs and assembly fixtures.
Part Stops & Diverters
With a 130 mm stroke and 20 mm rod, this cylinder pushes light pallets or cartons off a conveyor line, cushioned to reduce impact at end of travel.
Press & Forming Assist
At 0.9 MPa the 1767 N push force handles small pressing, staking, or forming operations where the front flange provides stable, aligned mounting.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when your application needs roughly 1000 N of push force at standard plant air; for lighter tasks the SC40 delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC63 steps up to 1559 N. The 130 mm stroke is a standard offering, well within the 1200 mm maximum for this bore.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting (accessory F-SC50FA), and no magnet. If side loads are present, even on this moderate stroke, add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending stress.
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 SC50X130FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa the 50 mm bore generates 1374 N of push force and 825 N of pull force on the retract stroke. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than ISO 15552 profiles, so mounting centres and overall dimensions differ. Replace only with another AirTAC SC50 cylinder matching the 130 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and FA front flange.
