The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X300SFB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 300mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X300SFB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore, 20 mm piston rod, and a 300 mm stroke, this model is well-suited for medium-force clamping, pressing, and material transfer tasks. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This configuration includes an FB rear rectangular flange (F-SC50FB) for secure end-face mounting against a machine panel. The cylinder body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of 450 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and features an adjustable pneumatic cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing impact noise and wear at the end of each stroke.

The 1767 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa provides strong, consistent clamping for CNC machining fixtures and welding jigs. The rear flange mount ensures a rigid, fixed installation.
With a 300 mm stroke and magnetic piston, this cylinder is ideal for diverting cartons on a conveyor. Sensors confirm full extension and retraction for high-speed sortation logic.
Use the SC50X300SFB for pressing bearings or bushings into housings. The adjustable cushion prevents impact damage to delicate components at the end of the press stroke.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, more compact solution is acceptable, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N at the same pressure. This 300 mm stroke model has a rod extension that can be susceptible to side-load bending; ensure the load is guided externally or consider a guided cylinder if side forces are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, FB rear flange mounting (F-SC50FB), and the built-in magnet (-S suffix). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a direct drop-in replacement for that standard.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 1374 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 200 kgf.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC50X300SFB will drift or drop its load if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
