About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500SH
This AirTAC SC50X1500SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1500 mm stroke, built for applications that need a long reach in high-temperature environments. The -S suffix equips it with a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for piston position feedback.
With a 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 knuckle thread, it generates a push force of 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for hot or aggressive air environments. This 1500 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for 50 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500SH Is Used
High-Temperature Actuation
Viton seals enable reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to 150 °C, such as near ovens, autoclaves, or engine test cells.
Long-Reach Material Handling
The 1500 mm stroke is ideal for pushing or lifting products across wide conveyor gaps or into deep processing stations.
Sensor-Controlled Automation
The built-in magnet allows easy attachment of reed or solid-state sensors for end-of-stroke detection in automated sequences.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1500SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 when your application requires a force around 982 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always check for side loads; an unsupported 1500 mm stroke on a 20 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral force. Use an external guide or linear rail to protect the rod and bearing.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material (-H). This is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not a drop-in replacement for that standard.
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 SC50X1500SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N pushing. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
A stroke of 1500 mm on a 20 mm rod requires external guidance to prevent bending from side loads. Mount the load on a linear rail or rodless guide system, and use a floating rod coupler to connect the cylinder, ensuring it only provides push/pull force.
