About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10S
The AirTAC SC50X10S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 port thread make it a compact workhorse for precise, repetitive short-travel operations.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke position feedback. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10S Is Used
Component Ejection
The 10 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for ejecting small parts from injection molds or stamping dies, with the built-in magnet providing a clean signal to the PLC for cycle confirmation.
High-Speed Sorting Gate
A fast-acting diverter gate on a conveyor line benefits from the short stroke and adjustable cushioning, while the magnetic sensors verify the gate's open or closed position at high cycle rates.
Clamping & Staking
Delivers a controlled 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa for light-duty clamping or staking fixtures, where the compact 150 mm body length fits easily into tight machine envelopes.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X10S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC50X10S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
Yes. The -S suffix designates a built-in magnet, which allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for non-contact position sensing.
