About the Airtac RMH Magnetic Coupling Rodless Cylinder RMH16X50S
The RMH16X50S is the 16 mm bore, 50 mm stroke build of the AirTAC RMH magnetic rodless cylinder. Magnets couple the piston to the outer slide with no mechanical link, so the tube stays fully sealed and the slide works without a piston rod. The catalog gives this bore a 140 N holding force and a load table of 3 or 5 kg up to a 300 mm stroke, and the built-in guide rail raises running accuracy, anti-rotation accuracy and load capacity.
Air enters through M5x0.8 ports, the thread the RMH uses on 10 and 16 mm bores. At a 50 mm ordered stroke the tolerance is +1.0 / 0 mm, both ends carry fixed cushions on adjusting screws, and CMSH, DMSH or EMSH sensors clip into the groove on the cylinder body for position detection.

How to choose
Step up to this 16 mm code from the 10 mm RMH10 when 55 N of holding force is too little; the 16 mm coupling holds 140 N. Stay here instead of the 20 mm RMH20 when your load fits the 3 / 5 kg rating and M5x0.8 tubing suits your manifold. Within the 16 mm bore, longer catalog strokes up to 300 mm are available if 50 mm travel is too short, but remember the allowed load falls on longer strokes.
Applications
Compact conveyor pusher
A 50 mm kick stroke fits tight line layouts, and the guide rail holds the slide square while it diverts small parts at 50-400 mm/s.
Small-part pick and place slide
Mounting a CMSH or DMSH sensor in the body groove gives end-of-stroke signals for a short-travel handling slide on assembly benches.
Dosing or gate actuator
The sealed magnetic coupling keeps the piston chamber isolated from the slide, so powder or spill residue around a packaging gate stays out of the cylinder.
FAQ
What are the key figures of the RMH16X50S?
Bore 16 mm, stroke 50 mm with +1.0 / 0 mm tolerance, magnetic holding force 140 N, catalog load 3 / 5 kg up to a 300 mm stroke, ports M5x0.8, operating pressure 0.2-0.7 MPa, speed 50-400 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
What does the S in RMH16X50S order?
S selects the built-in magnet, which is what lets the piston drive the slide through the magnetic coupling instead of a rod. The cushions are fixed and set by adjusting screws on both ends; if you need softer stopping, hydraulic shock absorbers can be ordered separately.
