The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X730 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 730mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X730 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 730 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range linear tasks.
With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 880 mm. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder is built with a PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread, suited for applications that need a balance of force and reach within the standard stroke limit of 1200 mm.

The 730 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder suitable for raising and lowering stop gates on moderate-speed conveyor lines, controlling pallet flow.
Ideal for ejecting formed parts from deep press tools or moulds where a 730 mm reach is needed to clear the tooling area before the next cycle.
Use the SC50X730 to lift or position access panels and guards vertically. The adjustable cushion ensures a soft stop at both ends of the 730 mm travel.
For a 50 mm bore at 0.5 MPa, expect 982 N push force. If your load is lighter and you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to a 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce cost. For heavier loads, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure.
At a 730 mm stroke, side-loading on the 20 mm rod becomes a design consideration. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing this unit, match five points: 50 mm bore, 730 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mount (no accessory), and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC50X730 produces a theoretical push force of 1374 N and a pull force of 825 N on the retract stroke, based on the 50 mm bore and 20 mm rod diameter.
For a 730 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod, external guides are strongly recommended if the load applies any side force. The rod is designed for axial push/pull loads; unsupported side loads can cause bending, seal damage, and reduced bearing life.
