About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460S
The SC50X460S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 50 mm bore and 460 mm stroke suit mid-range linear tasks where sensor feedback is required, thanks to the built-in magnet that lets CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the barrel.
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 at stroke end, reducing impact noise. With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length is approximately 610 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460S Is Used
Sensor-Gated Assembly
The built-in magnet allows reed or solid-state sensors to confirm end-of-stroke position, making this cylinder ideal for automated assembly fixtures that require position verification before the next cycle starts.
Product Sorting Gate
With 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and a 460 mm stroke, the SC50X460S can actuate a diverter gate on a conveyor line, reliably pushing products onto a secondary lane while sensors confirm gate open/closed status.
Clamping & Holding
Used in woodworking or light metalworking jigs, this cylinder clamps workpieces with consistent force. The adjustable cushion prevents jarring at the end of the 460 mm stroke, protecting both the fixture and the part.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when your application needs roughly 1000 N at standard plant pressure; stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore offers 628 N. For this 460 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to high side loads—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. A long unsupported 20 mm rod can bend under side force, leading to premature bearing wear.
For direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the -S magnet option for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod unit, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
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 SC50X460S 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 at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder does not include the sensors; they must be ordered separately.
