The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X880 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 880mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X880 is a double-acting tie-rod 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. With a 20 mm piston rod and an 880 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring a long, straight-line pneumatic reach within a compact tie-rod envelope.
This cylinder features a body length A of 150 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT1/4 ports and M16x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, while the TPU seals provide reliable operation in standard temperature environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Moves components across an 880 mm span on linear transfer lines, providing consistent 982 N push force for reliable indexing.
Applies clamping force up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing large panels or holding fixtures in woodworking and assembly jigs.
Actuates tall diverter gates in conveyor systems, using the long stroke to fully open or close material flow paths with cushioned end-of-stroke deceleration.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact stroke is acceptable, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. At 880 mm, the piston rod is fully supported by the front bearing, but any significant side loading requires an external guide rail or rod support to prevent bending and premature seal wear. When replacing, ensure the new unit matches the 50 mm bore, 880 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The 20 mm diameter rod is designed for axial loads. Applying a side load at full extension can bend the rod or damage the bearing. You must use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant to absorb any lateral forces.
