About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500S
The AirTAC SC50X1500S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1500 mm stroke, which exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for this bore size and is built to order. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread.
This model 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 non-contact position sensing. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce impact, and the PT1/4 port threads are standard. The total extended body length is approximately 1650 mm (150 mm body length A + 1500 mm stroke).

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500S Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 1500 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation with CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Automated Gluing or Dispensing
Extends a dispensing head across a wide panel with 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa. The adjustable cushion provides smooth deceleration to prevent fluid splashing.
Vertical Lift Gate Actuation
Operates a tall lift gate or hopper door with 825 N of pulling force at 0.5 MPa. The tie-rod construction allows for robust, serviceable operation in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when 982 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient; if you need more force, step up to the SC63 which provides 1559 N at the same pressure. For lighter, more compact applications, the SC40 offers 628 N. At a 1500 mm stroke, the long, 20 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bearing damage and ensure reliable operation.
For direct replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC50X1500S 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 20 mm rod extended to 1500 mm is highly vulnerable to buckling and side-load bending. You must guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide. Never allow the rod to push a misaligned or unguided load, as this will quickly damage the rod bearing and seals.
