About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360S
The SC50X360S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 360 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration, while the body length A of 150 mm keeps the overall footprint compact for a tie-rod design.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The standard TPU seals and PT ports suit general industrial environments with a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 360 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa are well-suited for actuating diverter gates or stops on medium-duty conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation.
Press-to-Locate Fixtures
Ideal for clamping and locating fixtures in assembly cells, where the adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact and the -S magnet enables cycle counting via barrel-mounted sensors.
Packaging Pusher Arms
Use this cylinder to drive a 360 mm pusher stroke in case-packing or palletizing stations. The 20 mm rod is robust enough for guided pusher plates, and the TPU seals handle frequent cycling.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X360S the Right Cylinder?
The 50 mm bore is a balanced mid-range choice; stepping down to a 40 mm bore reduces push force to 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 63 mm bore increases it to 1559 N. For this 360 mm stroke, ensure the load is axially guided—the 20 mm rod can experience bending under side load, so an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration is recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC of the same configuration.
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 SC50X360S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 1374 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC50X360S indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets or modifications.
