The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X530 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 530mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X530 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, pairing a 50 mm bore with a 530 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 982 N of push force and 825 N on the pull stroke, making it suitable for medium-duty linear tasks that need over half a metre of travel.
This model is a non-standard stroke length, built to order beyond the standard 1200 mm maximum for 50 mm bore SC cylinders. It features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 threads, PT1/4 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 680 mm.

Pushes or lifts components between conveyor lanes with a 530 mm reach, using 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa for reliable medium-weight indexing.
Applies consistent clamping pressure over a long 530 mm stroke in welding or assembly jigs, with adjustable cushioning to reduce impact on the fixture.
Actuates a diverter gate or chute flap in material handling systems, where the 50 mm bore provides ample thrust to move product flows.
Choose the SC50X530 when your application needs a force around 982 N at standard plant pressure and a stroke of 530 mm. If you require higher force, step up to the SC63 bore which delivers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution the SC40 bore provides 628 N.
At this 530 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is extended significantly. Avoid direct side loading—use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bending stress on the rod bearing. For replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 530 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, the SC50X530 produces 982 N pushing force and 825 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, the 530 mm stroke exceeds the standard stroke range for 50 mm bore SC cylinders. It is a non-standard, made-to-order length. Contact your distributor for lead time, and ensure your replacement matches the exact 530 mm stroke, 50 mm bore, PT1/4 ports, and basic mounting configuration.
