About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X880TC
The AirTAC SC50X880TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 880 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, this model is suited for medium-force linear tasks requiring an extended reach, such as material transfer or pressing operations.
This specific configuration includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC50TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 50 mm bore body has a length of 150 mm, and the adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston to reduce end-of-stroke impact, protecting the assembly during high-cycle use.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X880TC Is Used
Material Transfer
Pushes or diverts medium-weight packages and components across an 880 mm span on conveyor lines, using the trunnion mount to follow an arcing path.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 1767 N for inserting bearings, pins, or bushings in automated assembly stations where a pivoting cylinder motion is required.
Gate Actuation
Operates a sliding or pivoting gate on agricultural equipment, with the trunnion mount absorbing misalignment and the 21 mm cushion softening the stop.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X880TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 when your application requires a push force between 982 N and 1767 N. If the load demands more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For a more compact design with lower force, the SC40 bore offers 628 N at the same pressure.
For this 880 mm stroke, side loads and rod deflection are critical considerations. An unsupported long stroke can cause bending stress on the 20 mm rod and premature seal wear. Always guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide, or consider a guided cylinder assembly if side forces are present. When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 880 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
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 SC50X880TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides a theoretical push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
Long strokes with a 20 mm rod are susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use an external guide or linear bearing to support the rod, or switch to a guided cylinder. The air cushion does not hold the load; if position holding is required, add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical brake.
