About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X244S
The SC50X244S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family, combining a 50 mm bore with a 244 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 982 N pushing force and 825 N pulling force, rising to 1767 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a capable mid-bore actuator for general automation.
This model includes the -S suffix, indicating a built-in magnet along the barrel. The magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors for contactless piston-position feedback without external brackets. The rod diameter is 20 mm with an M16x1.5 male thread, and the adjustable air cushion at each end provides a 21 mm deceleration zone to soften end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X244S Is Used
Part Stops & Gates
The 982 N push force at standard line pressure is ideal for raising and lowering part stops or lane diverters on light to medium-duty conveyor systems, with sensor confirmation of the gate position.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during drilling, welding, or assembly. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by reducing impact shock at full extension.
Sortation Pushers
With a 244 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing, this cylinder reliably pushes cartons or totes off a main conveyor line, providing end-of-stroke confirmation to the central PLC for high-speed sortation.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X244S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 when the 32 mm bore's 402 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, but the full force of a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) is not required. The 244 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this 50 mm bore. The built-in magnet (-S) makes this cylinder ready for sensor-based sequencing without needing to swap to a different body.
For direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 244 mm stroke, PT port thread (PT1/4), basic mount (no bracket), and the magnet option. If side loads are present, guide the rod externally or use a guided cylinder; the 20 mm rod is not designed to absorb bending moments.
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 SC50X244S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the pushing force is 982 N and the pulling force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means this cylinder has a built-in magnet on the piston. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
