About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380
The AirTAC SC50X380 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a practical push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm diameter piston rod featuring an M16x1.5 thread, this actuator is built for consistent linear motion in industrial automation tasks.
This model's 380 mm stroke, combined with a body length of 150 mm, provides an extended reach suitable for medium-duty pushing, lifting, and clamping applications. The adjustable pneumatic cushion, set at 21 mm, effectively decelerates the piston at end-of-travel, reducing impact noise and vibration for smoother machine cycles.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380 Is Used
Part Transfer
Moves components between conveyor lines or workstations with a 380 mm reach, ideal for automated assembly cells requiring a mid-range push force.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies 982 N of holding force at standard line pressure to secure workpieces during machining, welding, or inspection processes.
Bin Pushing
Actuates a pusher plate to divert cartons or totes on gravity or powered roller conveyors in material handling and logistics systems.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N 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. When specifying a replacement, ensure an exact match across five key points: 50 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory, and the presence or absence of a magnet.
With a stroke of 380 mm, the unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under significant side loads. To prevent premature seal wear and rod deflection, it is strongly recommended to use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder assembly for any application where the load is not perfectly axial.
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 SC50X380 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 1767 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is not guaranteed. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, and mounting.
