About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460
The AirTAC SC50X460 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). With a 50 mm bore and 460 mm stroke, it suits medium-force linear applications where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly at end-of-stroke. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 610 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460 Is Used
Material Reject Gates
Actuates diverter gates on packaging conveyors, reliably pushing rejected items off the line with 982 N of force at standard plant air pressure.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force for medium-duty CNC fixtures and welding jigs, holding parts securely during machining or assembly.
Agricultural Equipment
Operates chutes, hopper doors, or sorting mechanisms on farming machinery, handling dusty conditions with the standard TPU seal's durability.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X460 when your load requires around 982 N at standard shop air. If you need more force, step up to the SC63 bore (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, faster-moving load, the SC40 bore (628 N) may be a better fit.
At 460 mm stroke, side-loading on the 20 mm rod becomes a design factor. For applications where the rod is not guided by the load, add an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear. For direct replacement, match bore (50 mm), stroke (460 mm), PT1/4 ports, basic mounting, and the optional magnet suffix if your original cylinder had a sensor.
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 SC50X460 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes, provided your old cylinder is a 50mm bore, 460mm stroke, double-acting tie-rod type with PT1/4 ports. Match the mounting style (this is the basic, no-bracket version) and check if your original had a magnet for sensors. The SC series is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
