About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230STC
This AirTAC SC50X230STC double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The 230 mm stroke combined with a 20 mm diameter piston rod suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a factory-fitted TC centre trunnion mount (F-SC50TC bracket included), this model is ready for pivoting applications. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly over 21 mm, reducing end-of-stroke shock.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230STC Is Used
Part Transfer
Moves components between conveyor lanes or workstations with a 230 mm linear push or pull stroke, leveraging the centre trunnion mount for a swinging motion.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies 1767 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or assembly, with sensor confirmation via the built-in magnet.
Pivoting Actuator
The TC centre trunnion allows the entire cylinder body to pivot, ideal for dump hoppers, chute gates, or any mechanism requiring an arcing linear motion.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230STC the Right Cylinder?
With 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the SC50 suits many general automation tasks. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure. For lighter, faster applications, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. At a 230 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported within the standard range, but always avoid direct side loading on the piston rod to prevent bearing wear and seal damage.
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 SC50X230STC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At the maximum 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnetic piston, allowing you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to detect end-of-stroke position.
