The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X130FA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 130mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
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.
At 0.9 MPa the 1767 N push force handles small pressing, staking, or forming operations where the front flange provides stable, aligned mounting.
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
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.
