About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50TC
The SC50X50TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, fitted with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N of push force, making it a capable mid-range actuator for compact linear movements.
This model includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC50TC), allowing the cylinder to swing as the rod extends and retracts. The 20 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end deliver smooth deceleration in a short-stroke package. Operating pressure is 0.15–1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50TC Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
Short 50 mm stroke with 982 N force securely holds workpieces in machining and assembly jigs.
Part Diverting
Pivoting TC mount allows the cylinder to swing a diverter gate on a conveyor line.
Linkage Actuation
Ideal for driving short-throw linkages and levers where the cylinder body must pivot.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X50TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when 982 N at 0.5 MPa meets the load requirement. If you need more force, step up to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution the SC40 bore offers 628 N. The TC centre trunnion mount suits linkages and arms that must pivot during the stroke.
For replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and no magnet. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC50X50TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N.
No. The SC50X50TC is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If the load must be held without pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical lock.
