The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X312 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 312mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X312 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a practical push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 pneumatic ports suit medium-duty linear actuation tasks. The 312 mm stroke is a non-standard length, manufactured to order for applications needing a specific extended reach beyond the standard 50 mm increments.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 150 mm, making the total extended length approximately 462 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Pushes or diverts packages and components on conveyor lines with a controlled 312 mm stroke, using the 982 N force at 0.5 MPa to handle medium-weight goods reliably.
Applies consistent clamping pressure in woodworking or metalworking jigs. The 20 mm rod and tie-rod construction provide rigidity for holding workpieces during machining.
Operates a diverter gate or stop in logistics systems. The non-standard 312 mm stroke offers the exact throw distance needed for custom chute mechanisms.
Selecting the SC50X312 involves matching its 50 mm bore force class to the load. If 982 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. For a shorter standard stroke, the SC50X300 is an alternative. The 312 mm stroke requires attention to rod support; side loads at this extension can cause rod bending or bearing wear, so an external linear guide is recommended.
For direct replacement, match five key specs: 50 mm bore, 312 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, 312 mm is a non-standard stroke for the 50 mm bore SC cylinder. It is a made-to-order item, so lead times are typically longer than standard strokes like 300 mm or 350 mm.
