About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X175H
The SC50X175H is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, built on the compact AirTAC SC tie-rod platform. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports deliver a push force of 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for general industrial automation.
This variant carries the ‘H’ suffix, specifying Viton (FKM) seals that shift the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston at stroke end, reducing impact noise. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 325 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X175H Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
With Viton seals rated for 0–150°C, this cylinder is suited for clamping, pressing, or ejecting parts near ovens, autoclaves, or heated platens where standard TPU seals would degrade.
High-Temp Material Handling
Operates reliably in foundry or glass-processing conveyors. The 1374 N push force at 0.7 MPa diverts or stops medium-weight products on lines exposed to radiant heat.
Chemical-Resistant Tooling
The FKM seals offer better resistance to aggressive synthetic oils and some chemicals. Use this cylinder for tool actuation in machining centres where cutting fluids are present.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X175H the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 bore when your application needs between 982 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 1767 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If you require more force, step up to the SC63 bore, which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 bore delivers 628 N at the same pressure. This 175 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
For a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the Viton seal material. This cylinder does not include a built-in magnet; if you need barrel-mounted sensors, order the SC50X175SH variant instead.
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 SC50X175H 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, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and Viton seals.
