About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1030S
The SC50X1030S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1030 mm stroke, built with the classic AirTAC SC tie-rod design. This model delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa), driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 1180 mm. Because the 1030 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for a 50 mm bore, this is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. The adjustable air cushion at both ends (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-speed operation within the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1030S Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls bins, pallets, or workpieces over a full meter of travel on roller conveyors, with sensor-confirmed end positions.
Automated Gluing & Dispensing
Moves a dispensing head across a wide panel with consistent speed, using the built-in magnet for precise position feedback at both ends of the 1030 mm stroke.
Vertical Gate Actuation
Operates a tall hopper gate or diverter chute requiring a long linear motion, where the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate material head loads.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1030S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X1030S when your application needs the force class of a 50 mm bore—982 N push at 0.5 MPa—over a long travel distance. If you require higher force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure; for a more compact installation with lower force, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. For this long 1030 mm stroke, the unsupported 20 mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads; always guide the load externally with linear rails or rods, or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 1030 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC50X1030S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, the maximum standard stroke for a 50 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. The 1030 mm stroke is non-standard and requires a special order. For long strokes like this, always use an external guide to protect the 20 mm rod from side loads.
