The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X650H is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 650mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X650H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for medium-duty automation tasks. Its 50 mm bore houses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads, and the 650 mm stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.
Equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, this model operates reliably in high-temperature environments from 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, drying ovens, and foundry equipment. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact without any mechanical locking function.

With Viton seals rated to 150°C, the SC50X650H actuates dampers, diverters, and clamps inside industrial ovens, autoclaves, and heat-treating lines where standard seals would degrade.
The 650 mm stroke pushes or pulls parts between conveyor lanes or assembly stations. Its 982 N force at 0.5 MPa handles medium-weight pallets and fixtures with controlled, cushioned motion.
Viton's chemical resistance suits fertilizer dosing gates, steam-clean areas, and aggressive fluid handling. The tie-rod design allows field servicing, and the PT1/4 port connects to standard pneumatic plumbing.
Choose the SC50 bore when your application requires roughly 1000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC63 delivers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for lighter, faster moves, the SC40 provides 628 N. This 650 mm stroke model uses a basic mount configuration—order mounting accessories like foot mount LB (F-SC50LB) or rear clevis CA (F-SC50CA) separately if needed.
For strokes over 300 mm, always check for side loading on the 20 mm rod. At 650 mm extended, even small off-axis forces can bend the rod or wear the bearing. Use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if your load is not perfectly aligned with the rod axis. To replace an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mount, and Viton seal material exactly.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 1374 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N. These values assume clean, filtered air at 40 µm and standard temperature conditions.
Only if the load is purely axial with no side forces. The 20 mm rod at 650 mm extension is vulnerable to bending under side load. For any off-axis force, install an external guide rail or select a guided cylinder to prevent rod damage and premature seal failure.
