About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X30FA
The SC50X30FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa), ideal for short-stroke clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks. Its 30 mm stroke and 20 mm diameter piston rod provide a compact yet robust actuation solution.
This model features an FA front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC50FA) for secure end-face mounting. The SC series is a tie-rod design with an adjustable air cushion, PT1/4 ports, and a body length of 150 mm, making it shorter than equivalent ISO 15552 cylinders.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X30FA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
The 30 mm stroke and 982 N force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder suitable for rapid part clamping in CNC fixtures and assembly jigs.
Product Ejection
Delivers a quick, controlled push to eject small components from conveyors or packaging lines, leveraging the front flange for stable mounting.
Die Stamping Assist
Provides the initial push or stripping action in light die-stamping operations where a compact, tie-rod cylinder fits tight machine envelopes.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X30FA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. The SC50X30FA is a standard-stroke model; ensure the 20 mm rod is adequately supported if any side load is present, though the short 30 mm stroke minimizes bending risk. When replacing, match bore (50 mm), stroke (30 mm), PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the non-magnet specification.
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 SC50X30FA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC50X30FA generates a theoretical push force of 1374 N. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N.
Yes, the FA suffix designates a front rectangular flange mount. The accessory part code is F-SC50FA. This allows rigid mounting on the rod-end face of the cylinder.
