About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1300S
The SC50X1300S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1300 mm non-standard stroke, built for applications that need a long linear reach. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This model features a body length A of 150 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. With an operating pressure range of 0.15–1.0 MPa and a speed range of 30–800 mm/s, it is suited for general automation tasks. The standard TPU seals provide a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, and the PT1/4 port thread is standard.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1300S Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 1300 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor lines or workstations, with sensor-ready position confirmation via the built-in magnet.
Automated Gluing or Dispensing
Delivers a consistent 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa to drive a dispensing head across a large panel, with smooth cushioning protecting the fluid applicator.
Vertical Pallet Lift Assist
Provides 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa for lifting or lowering light pallets in a low-duty cycle, where the long stroke reaches multiple shelf levels.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1300S the Right Cylinder?
For a 50 mm bore, this cylinder provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) is a direct alternative; for a lighter, more compact solution, a 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) may suffice. Always match the bore, stroke, PT port thread, and the built-in magnet when replacing an existing unit.
A 1300 mm stroke on a 20 mm rod requires careful management of side loads. The long, unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under lateral forces. To prevent premature rod bearing wear or rod buckling, it is critical to guide the load externally with linear rails or use a guided cylinder configuration. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) simplifies adding position feedback along the barrel.
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 SC50X1300S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
A 1300 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending. You must use an external guide system, such as linear rails and bearings, to support the load and prevent bending moments from reaching the rod and piston bearings.
