About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X510
The AirTAC SC50X510 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N 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 non-standard 510 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring an extended reach beyond the standard 500 mm limit for this bore size, while the 20 mm diameter piston rod provides robust resistance to buckling.
This cylinder features a compact body length of 150 mm (A dimension) and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT1/4 ports and M16x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections. As a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, it is a reliable choice for linear automation tasks needing a specific, made-to-order stroke length.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X510 Is Used
Long-Reach Part Rejection
The extended 510 mm stroke pushes defective products off a wide conveyor line, providing the necessary reach without complex linkages.
Vertical Gate Actuation
Operates a tall hopper gate or material diverter chute, using the 982 N force at 0.5 MPa to reliably slide a heavy panel through its full range of motion.
Extended Press Ejection
Ejects formed parts from a deep-cavity press tool where a standard stroke is insufficient, leveraging the full 510 mm travel to clear the part completely.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X510 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X510 when your application requires a force of approximately 982 N at standard plant pressure and a stroke exceeding the standard 500 mm maximum for the 50 mm bore. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa); for higher force, the SC63 bore offers 1559 N at the same pressure. This is a non-standard stroke model, so lead times will differ from standard-stroke cylinders.
For a stroke of 510 mm, carefully evaluate side-loading conditions. A long, unsupported 20 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral forces. To ensure reliable operation and prevent premature seal and bearing wear, use an external guide system or a guided cylinder. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the absence of a magnet.
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 SC50X510 FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa 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 maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder design, which is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders. For a direct replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 510 mm stroke.
