About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X356SH
The AirTAC SC50X356SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 356 mm stroke sits within the 1200 mm standard range for the 50 mm bore, making it a standard catalog item with a body length A of 150 mm.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, this model uses Viton (FKM) seals (-H suffix) to extend the operating temperature range from 0 to +150 °C. The 20 mm diameter piston rod features an M16x1.5 thread and the PT1/4 port supplies filtered air for reliable cycling.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X356SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
With Viton seals rated for 0-150°C, this cylinder operates reliably near ovens, autoclaves, or heated presses where standard seals would degrade.
Sensor-Monitored Clamping
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm clamp position in automated welding or assembly fixtures, preventing cycle-start errors.
High-Temp Part Transfer
Moves hot parts along a conveyor diverter or lift-and-transfer station, using the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa for consistent throughput.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X356SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X356SH when you need a mid-force cylinder with high-temperature tolerance and sensor feedback. If your application demands more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 2182 N of push at 0.7 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore offers 879 N at the same pressure. The 356 mm stroke is moderately long—ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide to protect the 20 mm rod and rod bearing from bending stress.
For a direct replacement, match these five attributes: 50 mm bore, 356 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor mounting, and Viton seals for high-temperature operation. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC50X356SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it produces 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At 0.7 MPa, force rises to 1374 N push, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 1767 N push.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC50X356SH will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
