The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X295S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 295mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X295S is a 50 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 295 mm stroke suits mid-reach material transfer and clamping operations. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 rod thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends. The body length A is 150 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 445 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15–1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30–800 mm/s.

The 295 mm stroke pushes or lifts components between conveyor lanes or indexing stations. The 982 N force at 0.5 MPa handles moderate payloads, and the magnet enables sensor confirmation at both ends.
Applies consistent 982 N clamping pressure at 0.5 MPa for assembly or welding jigs. The adjustable cushion prevents impact shock on the fixture, and the -S magnet confirms clamp position.
Operates diverter gates or flaps on packaging lines. The 30–800 mm/s speed range allows fast cycling, and the CMSG/DMSG sensors integrate with PLCs for gate-open/gate-closed logic.
For applications needing more force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa—a 59% increase. For lighter, faster cycling, the 40 mm bore SC40 delivers 628 N. At 295 mm stroke, the rod is moderately extended; ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide to prevent rod bearing wear. When replacing, match bore (50 mm), stroke (295 mm), PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and basic mounting. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC 50 mm cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) air pressure, the SC50X295S produces 1374 Newtons of push force. The pull force on retract is 825 N due to the 20 mm rod reducing the piston area.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp onto the barrel's sensor groove for contactless position detection.
