The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X290S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 290mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X290S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 290 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration, while the built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
This model features standard PT1/4 ports and TPU seals for a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length is approximately 440 mm. The SC50X290S is a genuine AirTAC component, ideal for automation tasks requiring precise position sensing without external brackets.

The built-in magnet and 290 mm stroke make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on conveyors, where CMSG sensors confirm the gate position to the PLC for high-speed sorting accuracy.
Delivers a consistent 982 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or assembly, with magnetic sensors verifying the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts.
With a 290 mm reach, this cylinder can lift or stop pallets on a roller bed. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of stroke, protecting the pallet and the cylinder from shock loads.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. When using a 290 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and aligned axially to prevent side-load bending on the 20 mm rod; for unsupported radial loads, consider an external linear guide. To match this cylinder for a replacement, confirm the 50 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
To be a direct replacement, the existing cylinder must be an AirTAC SC series 50 mm bore with a 290 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and a built-in magnet for sensors. SC cylinders are tie-rod design and are not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
