About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X470
The AirTAC SC50X470 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 470 mm stroke, this model is well-suited for medium-force linear tasks such as pressing, clamping, and material handling where a compact tie-rod design is preferred.
This cylinder features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 pneumatic ports. The total extended body length is approximately 620 mm, based on a 150 mm body length. An adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact for longer service life.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X470 Is Used
Part Transfer
Moves components between conveyor lanes or workstations with a 470 mm reach, using the 20 mm rod for stable push/pull actuation in automated lines.
Light Press-Fit Assembly
Generates up to 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa for inserting bearings, bushings, or pins, with adjustable cushioning to protect parts during final seating.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent holding force for jigs and fixtures in machining or welding cells, where the tie-rod construction offers rigidity and easy maintenance.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X470 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If space is a constraint and less force is acceptable, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N at the same pressure. This 470 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
At this stroke length, avoid direct side loading on the rod without external guidance. For reliable operation, match replacements by confirming these five points: 50 mm bore, 470 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no factory bracket), and no built-in magnet. An external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
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 SC50X470 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC50X470 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop under load. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
