About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X196S
The SC50X196S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 196 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for contactless position sensing. The standard TPU seals and PT1/4 port threads suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X196S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Actuates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, using the 982 N push force to reliably redirect packages and totes.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping pressure for CNC fixtures and welding jigs, with the built-in magnet confirming jaw position via a DMSG sensor.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa for light press-fit and staking operations in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X196S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The 196 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 196 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration. If your load creates side forces, consider an external linear guide to protect the rod bearing.
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 SC50X196S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet inside the piston, which allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel tie-rods for non-contact end-of-stroke detection.
