The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X475TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 475mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X475TC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (max 1767 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 50 mm bore and 475 mm stroke, it features a 20 mm diameter piston rod and M16x1.5 rod thread for robust linear actuation.
This model is equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC50TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact for consistent cycling at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

The 475 mm stroke and pivoting TC mount make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on packaging lines, smoothly redirecting products with 982 N of force at standard line pressure.
With its centre trunnion pivot, this cylinder can power the tilt function on ergonomic lift tables, handling moderate loads with a controlled, cushioned motion throughout the 475 mm travel.
Suited for positioning chutes or deflectors on harvesting equipment, the SC50X475TC provides reliable double-acting force and a trunnion mount that accommodates the arcing motion of the linkage.
For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the SC63 bore which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If lower force and a lighter assembly are acceptable, the SC40 bore delivers 628 N at the same pressure. The 475 mm stroke on a 20 mm rod requires careful alignment; for applications with significant side loading, an external guide rail or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 475 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC50TC), and the absence of a magnet. This tie-rod design is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those profiles.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes, the TC suffix indicates a centre trunnion mount. The cylinder ships with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC50TC) and is designed to pivot around the trunnion axis, making it suitable for applications where the cylinder body must swing through an arc during extension and retraction.
