About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X450S
The AirTAC SC50X450S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration across the full 450 mm stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The 50 mm bore body has a length A of 150 mm, making the total extended length approximately 600 mm. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with filtered air.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X450S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Actuates diverter gates and stoppers on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm gate position for automated sortation control.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides 982 N of clamping force at standard shop air pressure. The 450 mm stroke accommodates deep fixtures, with magnetic sensors verifying clamp engagement before machining cycles.
Packaging Pushers
Pushes cartons or products across a 450 mm span into packaging stations. Adjustable cushioning protects the product from impact shock at the end of the stroke.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X450S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series, which provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If space is constrained, the 40 mm bore SC40 offers 628 N. At 450 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loads; if lateral forces are present, add an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder configuration. To match this cylinder for replacement, verify five points: 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting.
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 SC50X450S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At 0.7 MPa push force rises to 1374 N. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, delivering 1767 N of push force.
Yes. The -S suffix designates a built-in magnet around the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be band-clamped onto the barrel to detect piston position without physical contact.
