About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X160SCB
The SC50X160SCB is a double-acting 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 and a 160 mm stroke, this model features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 threads and PT1/4 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-duty linear actuation.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The CB suffix specifies a rear double clevis mount (F-SC50CB), providing a pivoting connection at the cap end for applications where the cylinder body needs to articulate. The standard TPU seals offer reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X160SCB Is Used
Part Diverter Gates
The 160 mm stroke and rear clevis mount allow the cylinder body to pivot as it actuates a diverter gate on a conveyor line, reliably sorting packages with the 982 N push force at standard line pressure.
Clamping Fixtures
Ideal for welding or assembly jigs, the double clevis mount handles the arcing motion of a clamp arm. Magnetic sensors confirm the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle proceeds.
Agricultural Machinery Linkages
With its robust tie-rod design and pivoting mount, this cylinder actuates linkages on harvesters or spreaders, providing consistent force for chute or deflector positioning in dusty conditions.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X160SCB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 bore when your application requires a push force between 628 N (SC40) and 1559 N (SC63) at 0.5 MPa. For this 160 mm stroke, the tie-rod construction provides excellent rigidity, but always ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To replace this cylinder, match five key specifications: the 50 mm bore, the 160 mm stroke, the PT1/4 port thread, the rear double clevis mounting accessory (F-SC50CB), and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional swap.
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 SC50X160SCB FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with the same stroke, port thread, and rear double clevis mount.
