About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600S
The AirTAC SC50X1600S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 1600 mm stroke, exceeding the standard 1200 mm maximum for this bore. It delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for contactless position sensing. The cylinder body length is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1750 mm. With an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm, it decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, reducing impact noise and vibration in long-stroke applications.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600S Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pusher
Extends 1600 mm to push pallets or bins off a conveyor spur. The built-in magnet confirms full extension and retraction for reliable sorting logic.
Automated Glue Applicator
Moves a glue head across a wide panel. The adjustable air cushion protects the tooling from shock at stroke ends, while sensors verify position.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Operates a long-lever diverter arm on a packaging line. The 50 mm bore provides ample force to shift product flow, and the magnet enables end-of-stroke detection.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600S the Right Cylinder?
For a 50 mm bore at 0.5 MPa, expect 982 N push and 825 N pull. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC63 series provides 1559 N push at the same pressure. For lighter, faster moves, the SC40 bore offers 628 N push. At 1600 mm, this is a very long stroke for a 20 mm rod—side loads or unsupported weight can cause rod bending. Always use an external guide or a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearing and seals. When replacing, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your existing mounting accessory to ensure identical fit and sensor compatibility.
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 SC50X1600S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) it produces 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No, the maximum standard stroke for a 50 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. A 1600 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length. For long strokes like this, an external guide or support is strongly recommended to prevent rod buckling and uneven seal wear.
