About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230S
The SC50X230S delivers a practical 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 20 mm diameter piston rod and a 230 mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder is well-suited to medium-duty clamping, pressing, and sorting tasks where a compact tie-rod design is preferred.
This model includes the -S suffix, meaning a built-in magnet is integrated into the piston. That allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly onto the tie-rod barrel for clean, contactless position sensing without external brackets. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the load smoothly, and the standard PT1/4 ports keep plumbing straightforward.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230S Is Used
Package Sorting Gates
The 230 mm stroke pushes diverters or gates in light conveyor systems, and the built-in magnet lets a DMSG sensor confirm gate position at each cycle.
Automated Clamping Fixtures
Delivers consistent 982 N clamping force at standard shop air. Sensor feedback from the -S magnet ensures the clamp is fully engaged before machining starts.
Press-to-Test Stations
Ideal for applying a controlled linear load in quality checks. The adjustable cushion protects the test probe and the magnet signals end-of-stroke to the PLC.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X230S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If space is tight and the load is lighter, the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) may be a better fit. This 230 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 50 mm bore, so no custom tooling lead time applies.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. For strokes above 200 mm with a 20 mm rod, avoid direct side loads; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending stress.
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 SC50X230S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC50X230S means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
