About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1700
The AirTAC SC50X1700 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1700 mm stroke, built for applications requiring a long reach. This model generates a theoretical push force of 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.
Because the 1700 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for the 50 mm bore, this unit is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. The cylinder body has a length of 150 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1850 mm. It features an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 21 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1700 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pusher
Provides the extended 1700 mm stroke needed to push products fully across wide conveyor lines or transfer stations in packaging systems.
Vertical Bin Gate Actuator
Operates a tall sliding gate on a hopper or silo, using the long stroke to fully open and close the discharge chute with 1767 N of force.
Pallet Dispenser Lift
Acts as a long-stroke lift mechanism in a pallet magazine, raising a stack of empty pallets with consistent force to a fixed pick-up height.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1700 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X1700 when your application demands a long linear stroke with a mid-range force output. If the 1767 N push force at 0.9 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 2805 N. For a shorter, standard stroke within the 1200 mm limit, a standard SC50 model would reduce lead time.
For a stroke of this length, the unsupported 20 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. It is critical to ensure the load is guided externally and perfectly aligned with the rod axis, or to use a guided cylinder variant, to prevent premature rod bearing wear and seal failure. As a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 1700 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting configuration of another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC50X1700 FAQ
The theoretical push force is 1767 N at 0.9 MPa (max operating pressure) and 982 N at a typical plant pressure of 0.5 MPa. The pull force on the retract stroke is lower due to the rod area, delivering 825 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The maximum standard stroke for a 50 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm. A 1700 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. For strokes beyond 1200 mm, external rod guidance is strongly recommended to prevent bending.
