The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X500SCA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 500mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X500SCA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 50 mm bore and 500 mm stroke suit medium-force linear tasks requiring a pivoting mount, with the rear single clevis (CA) simplifying installation on moving linkages.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. Body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 650 mm.

The 982 N force at 0.5 MPa and rear clevis mount allow the cylinder to pivot into position for secure workpiece clamping on welding or assembly fixtures.
With its 500 mm stroke and magnet for end-of-travel sensing, this cylinder reliably actuates diverter arms on conveyor lines, sorting packages by size or destination.
The rear single clevis (CA) mount and robust tie-rod design handle the pivoting motion needed to operate chute doors or flow control gates on harvesters and spreaders.
Choose the SC50X500SCA when your application needs around 982 N of force at standard shop air. If you need more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. The 500 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For a 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present—an unsupported 20 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending and seal wear. This cylinder is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, CA clevis mount, and built-in magnet.
Quick checklist
At 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 reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port thread, CA rear clevis mount, and built-in magnet.
