About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460SN
The SC50X460SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa) from a 50 mm bore. With a 460 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, it suits mid-reach linear tasks where consistent thrust and sensor feedback are both required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. NBR seals (-N suffix) provide reliable sealing for standard industrial air, and the PT1/4 port threads keep plumbing straightforward. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end, reducing impact noise and wear.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460SN Is Used
Part Transfer with Verification
The 460 mm stroke moves a workpiece between conveyor lanes while the built-in magnet lets a CMSG sensor confirm full extension before the next cycle starts, preventing collisions.
Clamp & Sense in Woodworking
Applies 982 N of holding force to a panel during routing or drilling. An EMSG solid-state sensor detects the clamped position, interlocking with the spindle start for operator safety.
Bin Diverter Gate
Drives a 460 mm throw diverter gate on a gravity chute. The -S magnet confirms gate position (open/closed) remotely, and the NBR seals handle the dusty warehouse air without premature hardening.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X460SN the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X460SN when 982 N at 0.5 MPa covers your load and you need sensor feedback. If the force is marginal, stepping up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) adds headroom; if the 50 mm bore is oversized for a light load, the 40 mm bore (628 N) may reduce air consumption. At 460 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is still well-supported inside the standard stroke range, but any significant side load should be carried by an external guide rail or a guided-cylinder unit—the rod bearing alone is not designed for bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no-bracket) mounting. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC50 of the same configuration.
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 SC50X460SN FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the 50 mm bore produces 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling (rod side). At 0.7 MPa, push force rises to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf (1960 N), but the operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
Yes, if your original cylinder also had a magnet. The -S suffix means this cylinder has a built-in magnet for barrel-mounted sensors. If your old cylinder did not have a magnet, the sensors will not work. Also confirm the port thread is PT1/4 and the mounting is basic (no brackets). The tie-rod body dimensions are identical to any AirTAC SC50 of the same stroke.
