About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600SN
The AirTAC SC50X1600SN is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50mm bore and an extended 1600mm stroke, built for applications requiring a long reach from a mid-range bore. 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 20mm diameter piston rod.
This non-standard stroke model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The -N suffix specifies NBR (nitrile) seals, suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. Ports are PT1/4 with an M16x1.5 rod thread, and the adjustable air cushion provides controlled deceleration over a 21mm cushion length.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600SN Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pushing
Extends 1600mm to push boxes or products off a wide conveyor line, with sensor confirmation of full extension and retraction.
Automated Sorting Gates
Operates a tall diverter gate in a chute system, using the long stroke to fully open and close a passageway for material sorting.
Vertical Bin Lifting
Provides the long vertical travel needed to raise a platform or bin, with the built-in magnet confirming the raised position for safety interlocks.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1600SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 63mm bore SC63 series, which provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a shorter, standard-stroke alternative, the 40mm bore offers 628 N. This 1600mm stroke exceeds the 1200mm maximum standard stroke for a 50mm bore, making it a made-to-order item.
With a stroke of 1600mm, the 20mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. It is critical to use an external guide or a self-guided unit to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure linear motion. For a direct replacement, match the 50mm bore, 1600mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, NBR seals, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC50X1600SN FAQ
At the standard factory air pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 1767 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf, though the cylinder is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa.
A stroke length of 1600mm on a 20mm rod creates a high risk of buckling under compressive loads and bending from side forces. You must guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod guide, and ensure the load is applied perfectly axially to the rod. Never use this cylinder to push an unguided mass over this distance.
