About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1480
The AirTAC SC50X1480 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for applications demanding an extended reach. With a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 1480 mm stroke, it generates a theoretical push force of 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, providing substantial linear power for long-travel actuation.
This model features a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 port threads. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1630 mm. An adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end decelerates the piston over 21 mm to reduce end-of-stroke impact. Operating on 40 µm filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it uses standard TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1480 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pusher
Provides the extended 1480 mm stroke needed to push heavy boxes or products completely off a wide conveyor line onto a perpendicular takeaway system.
Vertical Panel Lifter
Raises and lowers large panels or doors in industrial enclosures, using its 1767 N force at 0.9 MPa to manage substantial vertical loads with a guided support structure.
Bulk Container Tilter
Actuates a tilting mechanism for large bulk bins or hoppers, where the long stroke provides the necessary mechanical advantage and travel arc for complete material discharge.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1480 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, consider stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series, which offers 2805 N of push force at 0.9 MPa. If a shorter, standard stroke is acceptable, the SC50 series offers standard strokes up to 1200 mm, which are typically available with shorter lead times. This 1480 mm stroke is a made-to-order, non-standard length.
At this stroke length, the 20 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. It is critical to ensure the load is guided externally and aligned axially with the rod to prevent bearing damage and seal failure. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 1480 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the absence of a magnet sensor option.
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 SC50X1480 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC50X1480 produces a theoretical push force of 1374 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N. These values are based on the 50 mm bore piston area.
No. For any stroke over 300 mm, and especially for a 1480 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is at high risk of bending under side loads. An external guide rail or a guided cylinder configuration is mandatory to absorb transverse forces and ensure a long service life.
