The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X340S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 340mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X340S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 340 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping and pressing tasks, while the 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for reliable position feedback. The cylinder body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 490 mm.

Actuates a medium-duty line stop with 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa. The 340 mm stroke provides ample reach for diverting or stopping packages on a belt conveyor.
Powers a pneumatic clamp in a machining center, holding parts securely during milling or drilling. The built-in magnet confirms clamp position to the PLC.
Drives a vertical lift mechanism in a pick-and-place station, raising components with 1374 N of force at 0.7 MPa. Sensors verify full extension and retraction.
Choose the SC50X340S for applications needing up to 982 N at standard shop air. If your force requirement exceeds 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). For lighter, faster cycling, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. With a 340 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; if lateral forces are present, add an external guide or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
For direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 340 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no factory bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S). This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod type, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a body length shorter than an ISO 15552 profile. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Use genuine AirTAC SC mounting accessories like LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC with the matching F-SC50 part codes.
