The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X960SFA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 960mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X960SFA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 960 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at the 0.9 MPa max operating pressure). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range linear tasks.
This model is factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC50FA) for secure panel mounting. The standard TPU seals and PT1/4 port threads keep it compatible with typical filtered compressed-air systems.

Moves components between conveyor lanes with a 960 mm reach. The front flange mount secures the cylinder to the transfer station frame.
Applies 982 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold workpieces during machining or welding, with sensor confirmation of the clamped position.
Pushes totes or bins off a gravity roller lane onto a takeaway conveyor. The long 960 mm stroke clears the full bin width.
Choose the SC50 when your application needs roughly 1000 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 bore offers 628 N. The 960 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
At this stroke length, the 20 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always guide the load externally or use a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present. For drop-in replacement, match bore (50 mm), stroke (960 mm), PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) to another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace it only with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 50 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, FA front flange mount, and built-in magnet.
