About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X229S
The AirTAC SC50X229S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 229 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). The 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports suit general pneumatic automation tasks where moderate force and a compact envelope are required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C, and the adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly within the 21 mm cushion length.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X229S Is Used
Package Diverting
The 229 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shift cartons or totes on a conveyor lane. The built-in magnet lets sensors confirm extend and retract positions.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent holding force for jigs and assembly fixtures. The adjustable cushion reduces impact at the end of the 229 mm travel, protecting the workpiece.
Press & Forming Assist
With 1767 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can assist in light pressing, staking, or forming operations where the stroke length matches a specific tooling cycle.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X229S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) is a common choice; for lighter, faster moves the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces air consumption. The 229 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 229 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. If the rod will see side load at this stroke length, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending.
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 SC50X229S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC50X229S indicates a built-in magnet. AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel tie-rods for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback.
