About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360H
The AirTAC SC50X360H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder built for thermal resilience, employing Viton (FKM) seals that shift the operating temperature window to 0–150 °C. With a 50 mm bore and 360 mm stroke, it generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and reaches 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod.
This 360 mm stroke model uses adjustable pneumatic cushioning (21 mm cushion length) to decelerate end-of-travel mass smoothly. Its PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread make it a direct fit for standard pneumatic circuits, while the 150 mm body length keeps the envelope compact for heat-intensive automation tasks.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360H Is Used
Foundry & Heat-Treat Clamping
Viton seals withstand 150°C ambient temperatures, making this 360 mm stroke cylinder ideal for clamping hot workpieces in die-casting or heat-treatment lines.
Autoclave & Sterilizer Door Actuation
The 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably moves sterilizer doors or autoclave locks where high-temperature steam cycles degrade standard seals.
Hot-Material Diverter Gates
With a 360 mm stroke, it can pivot diverter chutes in cement or asphalt plants, resisting heat from conveyed material while providing consistent actuation.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360H the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 when your application needs the mid-range force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, the SC63 bore steps up to 1559 N push at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 delivers 628 N. This 360 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
For strokes of 300 mm or longer, avoid unsupported side loads that can bend the 20 mm rod or wear the bearing. Use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder assembly. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 50 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and confirm the seal material—this H-suffix model requires Viton for high-temperature compatibility.
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 SC50X360H FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the 50 mm bore generates 1374 N of push force on extension. The pull force on retraction is 825 N, accounting for the 20 mm rod diameter reducing the effective piston area.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. Only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, basic mount, and Viton seals.
