The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X750SCA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 750mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X750SCA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force when operated at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, this 750 mm stroke unit is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.
This specific model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly on the barrel, providing reliable end-of-stroke detection. The rear single clevis mount (-CA) with part code F-SC50CA allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, ideal for applications requiring angular movement. The body length A is 150 mm, with PT1/4 ports and an M16x1.5 rod thread.

The 750 mm stroke and 1767 N force at 0.9 MPa make it suitable for pushing bins or boxes off a conveyor line onto a perpendicular take-away lane.
The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder body to swing, making it ideal for actuating toggle clamps or lifting arms that move through an arc.
With its magnetic piston for position sensing, this cylinder can reliably open and close sliding gates on hoppers or chutes, confirming full-open and full-closed states.
For applications needing slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is required, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N at the same pressure. At a 750 mm stroke, ensure side loads are minimized; long unsupported rods are susceptible to bending under lateral force. For such conditions, use an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder variant.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the F-SC50CA rear single clevis mounting accessory, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional swap with an existing AirTAC SC50 unit.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 1374 N, and the pull force on the retract stroke is 1155 N (calculated from the 825 N pull force at 0.5 MPa). The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows standard AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots for position detection.
