About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50CA
The SC50X50CA is a 50 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a compact 50 mm stroke, delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth deceleration in short-stroke positioning tasks.
This model is configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The mounting accessory code is F-SC50CA. It uses standard PT ports (PT1/4) and TPU seals for a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50CA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 50 mm stroke and rear clevis mount suit compact clamping stations where the cylinder must pivot to engage a workpiece, providing 982 N of clamping force at standard line pressure.
Part Diverting
With its pivoting CA mount, this cylinder actuates diverter gates on conveyors, pushing packages or components onto branch lines with a crisp 50 mm throw.
Linkage Actuation
Ideal for driving short-throw linkages on packaging or assembly machines, where the rear clevis absorbs angular misalignment and the adjustable cushion reduces end-of-stroke shock.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X50CA when you need a pivoting mount for a short 50 mm stroke. The CA single clevis lets the cylinder swing, ideal for clamping or diverting mechanisms. If your force requirement is lower, the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher force, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N.
For replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinders.
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 SC50X50CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and CA clevis mount.
