About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X457S
The SC50X457S is a double-acting AirTAC tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration across the full 457 mm stroke, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-force linear tasks.
A built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The cylinder uses a PT1/4 port, standard TPU seals for -20 to +70 °C operation, and a body length A of 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 607 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X457S Is Used
Part Transfer & Sorting
The 457 mm stroke and sensor-ready design make it ideal for conveyor diverters and part-transfer stations where mid-stroke and end-of-stroke position confirmation is required.
Clamping & Fixturing
With 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa and adjustable cushioning, it securely clamps workpieces in CNC fixtures and welding jigs without slamming, while sensors confirm jaw position.
Packaging & Palletizing
Used in case packers and palletizers for pushing cartons or layers into position. The magnet enables precise stroke verification at multiple points along the 457 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X457S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore (SC63 series) provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact unit is acceptable, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. At 457 mm, the stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50, so no non-standard surcharge applies. To ensure a correct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 457 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and any mounting accessory. For strokes over 300 mm, always check side-load conditions; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
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 SC50X457S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without any modification.
