About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X150
The SC50X150 is a 50 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 150 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks where a compact body length is needed.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 150 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 300 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X150 Is Used
Part Stops & Diverters
The 150 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably stop or divert cartons and totes on low-to-medium-speed conveyor lines.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent clamping force for CNC fixtures, welding jigs, and assembly stations, with adjustable cushioning to protect tooling.
Packaging Presses
Provides the linear motion for small pneumatic presses used in carton sealing, labeling, and insert placement, operating on standard shop air.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X150 the Right Cylinder?
For higher force in the same mounting footprint, step up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa). If lower force and faster cycling suit the application, the 40 mm bore SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa) is a lighter alternative. This basic-configuration SC50X150 ships without a magnet or mounting bracket; order the -S suffix for a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG/DMSG sensors, and add LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC mounting accessories as needed.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic (no magnet) configuration, and the specific mounting accessory part code (e.g., F-SC50LB for foot mount).
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 SC50X150 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, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, so mounting dimensions and overall length differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
