About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X700SH
The SC50X700SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 50 mm bore houses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads, and the 700 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks.
This model is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, eliminating the need for external switch rails. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot environments; port threads are standard PT1/4.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X700SH Is Used
High-Temperature Actuation
Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate continuously in ovens, autoclaves, and foundry equipment where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C.
Sensor-Monitored Clamping
The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke detection with CMSG/DMSG sensors, providing closed-loop confirmation for automated clamping and pressing fixtures.
Part Transfer & Sorting
With 700 mm of stroke and 1767 N of thrust, it reliably pushes heavy components onto conveyors or diverts them between lanes in sorting systems.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X700SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, faster actuator, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. The 700 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50, but with a 20 mm rod, side loads must be avoided—use an external guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT1/4 ports, the -S magnet option, and the Viton seal material.
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 SC50X700SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC50X700SH is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted. If load holding is required without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
