About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X52
The SC50X52 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 50 mm bore with a 52 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it produces 982 N of push force, making it a capable mid-range actuator for clamping, pressing, and ejector tasks.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The 21 mm air cushion at each end is adjustable, allowing you to tune deceleration for smooth, low-impact stops. The body length is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 202 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X52 Is Used
Part Rejection Gates
The 52 mm stroke and quick response of the SC50X52 make it ideal for diverting or rejecting parts on a conveyor line, providing a firm push without excessive travel.
Light Assembly Presses
With 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder suits small bearing or bushing press-fit stations where a controlled, repeatable linear force is required.
Clamping Fixtures
Use the SC50X52 to actuate weld or machining fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture and workpiece from hammering at the end of the stroke.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X52 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X52 when your application needs roughly 100 kgf of force at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N push at the same 0.5 MPa. For lower force and a lighter, more compact actuator, the SC40 bore provides 628 N.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 52 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no factory bracket), and no magnet. This SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile 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 SC50X52 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 982 N. At 0.7 MPa it rises to 1374 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and its body length is shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with the same stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
