The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X325S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 325mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC50X325S is a 50 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 325 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (suffix -S). This allows direct mounting of AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The piston rod is 20 mm diameter with an M16x1.5 male thread, and the cylinder delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa).
With a body length A of 150 mm and a cushion length of 21 mm, the SC50X325S provides adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT1/4 port thread and TPU seals suit filtered-air operation from -20 to +70 °C. At 325 mm, this stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore, making it a readily available configuration.

The 325 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on conveyor lines, where mid-stroke or end-stroke confirmation is required for high-speed sortation logic.
Delivering 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, the SC50X325S provides consistent clamping force for CNC fixtures and welding jigs, with magnetic sensors verifying clamp engagement before the cycle starts.
Used in automated pallet dispensers, this cylinder pushes a single pallet from a stack with 982 N of force, while the integrated magnet signals the PLC when the pallet has been fully ejected.
For applications needing slightly less force, the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; for higher thrust, the 63 mm bore SC63 series delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. At a 325 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading—if lateral forces are present, pair the cylinder with an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. When replacing an existing unit, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 325 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a factory-installed magnet in the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
