The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1400TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1400mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X1400TC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore, 20 mm piston rod, and a long 1400 mm stroke, this model is built for linear applications requiring extended reach. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1550 mm.
This specific code specifies a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC50TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation for swinging or articulating loads. The 1400 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for the 50 mm bore, making this a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. Ports are PT1/4 with an M16x1.5 rod thread, and the adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston at the end of stroke to reduce impact.

The 1400 mm stroke is ideal for transferring parts between distant conveyors or workstations in automated assembly lines where a pivoting motion is required.
Mounted on a trunnion, this cylinder can push or pull materials off a moving gantry system, with the long stroke covering a wide work envelope.
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot a large bin or hopper through a full arc, using the extended stroke for a complete dump cycle.
For applications needing less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For higher force requirements, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N at the same pressure. The 1400 mm stroke requires careful management of side loads; long, unsupported piston rods are susceptible to bending under radial forces. An external guide or a self-guided cylinder is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key specifications: 50 mm bore, 1400 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting style, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles, as the SC tie-rod design is shorter.
Quick checklist
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 increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes, it is highly recommended. A 20 mm diameter rod extending 1400 mm is vulnerable to bending under side loads. An external guide rail or rod support prevents damage to the rod bearing and ensures reliable, long-term operation.
