The AirTAC Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1100S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1100mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X1100S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and 20 mm piston rod, this 1100 mm stroke model is suited for long linear movements in material handling and automation where sensor feedback is required.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston over 21 mm to reduce impact, and the PT1/4 port threads provide reliable pneumatic connections.

The 1100 mm stroke and integrated magnet allow full-stroke position sensing, ideal for diverting packages or parts on long conveyor lines.
Delivers nearly 1000 N of force at standard line pressure to push heavy bins or pallets across wide roller beds.
The extended stroke feeds large-format panels into saws or edgebanders, with sensor confirmation at the fully retracted and extended positions.
For applications needing more force, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) is a good alternative. At 1100 mm, this stroke is long but still within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore. For strokes of this length, ensure the rod is protected from side loads—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if bending moments are present. When replacing, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the -S magnet option, and basic mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors. These sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots for non-contact position detection.
