The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X70SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 70mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X70SH is a double-acting AirTAC tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 70 mm stroke, equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) and high-temperature Viton seals (-H). With a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, it handles medium-duty clamping and pressing tasks in hot environments.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion provides a 21 mm deceleration zone at each end. The Viton (FKM) seals extend the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, foundries, and engine test cells where standard seals would degrade.

Related variants: SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
The Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably at up to 150°C, making it ideal for actuating flue dampers, oven doors, or hot material gates where standard NBR or TPU seals would fail.
With 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa and a built-in magnet for DMSG sensors, this cylinder provides precise, sensor-confirmed clamping in welding jigs, soldering fixtures, or heated press tools.
The 0–150°C temperature rating and reliable double-acting cycle make the SC50X70SH a strong fit for internal automation in steam sterilizers, clean-in-place systems, and laboratory autoclaves.
Choose the SC50 bore for force requirements around 1000 N at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, step up to the SC63 which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 delivers 628 N. Always match the replacement cylinder on five points: 50 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor mounting, and Viton seal compatibility for high-temperature operation.
The 70 mm stroke is well within the standard range, so the rod is fully supported by the front bearing. For strokes over 300 mm in this bore, consider an external guide to protect the 20 mm rod from side-load bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC50 bore generates a theoretical push force of 1374 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area reduction from the 20 mm piston rod.
Yes, the built-in magnet allows you to mount CMSG reed or DMSG solid-state sensors directly on the barrel. However, for applications running continuously near the 150°C limit, confirm the sensor's own temperature rating, as the cylinder body can conduct significant heat to the switch.
