About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200N
The SC50X200N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, featuring a 50 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke. Equipped with a 20 mm diameter piston rod and NBR (nitrile) seals, this model delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for medium-duty linear actuation tasks.
With a compact body length of 150 mm (A dimension) and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, the cylinder decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The standard PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections and tooling attachment.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200N Is Used
Material Sorting Gates
Provides the 982 N push force needed to reliably actuate diverter gates on medium-speed conveyor systems, directing packages or components down different lanes.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for workpieces in CNC machining or welding fixtures, where the 200 mm stroke accommodates part loading clearance.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates chutes, hopper doors, or sprayer boom controls in farming machinery, with NBR seals providing good compatibility with standard hydraulic oils and greases.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X200N the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands more power, the 63 mm bore SC63 family offers a substantial increase to 1559 N at the same pressure. When replacing this cylinder, ensure the new unit matches the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, always evaluate side-load conditions; an unsupported rod is susceptible to bending, and an external guide or guided cylinder should be used to protect the rod bearings and seals.
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 SC50X200N FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder generates 982 N of force when extending (push) and 825 N when retracting (pull). The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
