The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X450SFB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X450SFB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a robust mid-range actuator for industrial automation. This model features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 thread and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.
With a 450 mm stroke, the total extended body length reaches approximately 600 mm. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback, while the rear rectangular flange (FB) provides a rigid, panel-mounted installation point.

The 450 mm stroke and rear flange mount are ideal for actuating diverter gates or stops on conveyor lines, with sensor feedback confirming open/closed positions.
Delivers consistent clamping force up to 1767 N for holding parts during welding or assembly, with the FB flange bolting securely to a machine frame.
Pushes cartons or products onto pallets with a 450 mm reach. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke detection to sequence with other automation.
The SC50 bore provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires higher force, consider stepping up to the SC63 bore which delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. For lighter, more compact needs, the SC40 bore offers 628 N. This 450 mm stroke requires careful management of side loads; long unsupported rods are susceptible to bending. Use an external linear guide or ensure the load is purely axial to maximize seal and bearing life.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear flange (FB) mounting with accessory F-SC50FB, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not a direct interchange for that standard.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 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 SC50 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
