About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380S
The AirTAC SC50X380S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 380 mm stroke, this model features a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, making it a robust mid-range actuator for general industrial automation.
The built-in magnet, designated by the -S suffix, allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. Its adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the standard TPU seals provide a reliable operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380S Is Used
Part Transfer & Sorting
The 380 mm stroke and 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa reliably push or divert medium-weight packages and components on conveyor lines, with magnetic sensors confirming end-of-stroke position.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force for workpieces in CNC machining or welding fixtures. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to interlock machine cycles with clamp status.
Automated Gate & Diverter
Operates a material-handling gate or chute diverter with a 380 mm linear throw. The tie-rod construction withstands repetitive cycling in dusty warehouse environments.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X380S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a more compact footprint is needed, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N at the same pressure. This 380 mm stroke length is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore, ensuring standard production availability.
To ensure a direct, direct replacement, match these five key specifications: 50 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always assess side-load forces; an external guide rail or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments if the load is not perfectly axial.
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 SC50X380S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
For a successful replacement, match five critical points: the 50 mm bore, the 380 mm stroke, the PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix) for position sensors, and the basic (footless) mounting style. This is a non-ISO tie-rod cylinder, so it is dimensionally shorter than a standard ISO 15552 profile and is a direct match only for another AirTAC SC series cylinder with the same specifications.
