The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X275STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 275mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X275STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 275 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks. The 20 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, helping to protect tooling and reduce cycle shock.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for piston-position feedback. The TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC50TC) allows the cylinder body to pivot, making it ideal for swinging or articulating loads. Seals are standard TPU for a -20 to +70 °C operating range, and ports are PT1/4.

The 275 mm stroke and trunnion pivot allow the cylinder to swing into a conveyor line, pushing or diverting boxes and components with 982 N of force at standard plant pressure.
Magnetic piston sensing confirms clamp position on automated welding or assembly fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from impact at the end of the 275 mm travel.
With the TC centre trunnion mount, this cylinder is purpose-built for pivoting linkages on packaging machines, chute gates, or hopper doors that need a mid-stroke pivot point.
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If space is tight and less force is acceptable, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. The 275 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50, so this is a standard-length cylinder.
When replacing this unit, match five points: 50 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC50TC bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensors. At this stroke length, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal; an unsupported 20 mm rod can bend under off-axis loading. For high side-load applications, consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the theoretical push force is 1374 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for the 20 mm rod area. For dynamic sizing, use a 50-70% load factor.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code means a magnet is built into the piston. You can fit AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect end-of-stroke or mid-stroke piston position.
