About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200CA
The SC50X200CA is a 50 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 200 mm stroke, delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount for pivoting applications, with a 20 mm diameter piston rod and M16x1.5 rod thread for secure tooling attachment.
Built as a rugged tie-rod cylinder, the SC50X200CA has a body length of 150 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The PT1/4 port supplies filtered air, and the standard TPU seals provide reliable operation in temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. The CA clevis bracket (F-SC50CA) allows the cylinder to swing freely, making it ideal for clamping and lever-actuated mechanisms.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200CA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, making it perfect for clamping arms and workholding fixtures where the actuator must swing to engage and release parts.
Part Diverter Gates
With 982 N of push force, this cylinder reliably actuates diverter gates on conveyor lines, sorting packages or components by size, weight, or destination.
Linkage Actuation
The pivoting CA mount and 200 mm stroke suit agricultural equipment linkages, such as chute controls or hopper door openers on seeders and spreaders.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200CA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N if a more compact actuator is preferred. The 200 mm stroke on this 50 mm bore is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke, ensuring standard lead times.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear single clevis mounting (F-SC50CA), and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders; it must replace another AirTAC SC or equivalent tie-rod design.
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 SC50X200CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC50X200CA is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
