About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1080S
The AirTAC SC50X1080S pneumatic cylinder delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod. With a 1080 mm stroke, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder provides extended linear reach while remaining within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the PT1/4 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1080S Is Used
Automated Sorting Gates
The 1080 mm stroke and magnetic piston allow precise, sensor-verified positioning for diverting packages or parts on long conveyor lines.
Long-Reach Material Handling
Provides extended linear motion for pushing or pulling components between distant stations in assembly cells, with sensor confirmation at each end.
Ventilation Actuation
Operates large louvres or ventilation panels in agricultural buildings, using sensors to confirm fully open or closed states over the long travel.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1080S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X1080S when your application requires a 50 mm bore with sensor-ready position feedback across a long 1080 mm stroke. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of this length, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet option, and mounting style exactly.
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 SC50X1080S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it produces 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so you can clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
