About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X475S
The SC50X475S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 475 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-stroke applications.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The standard PT1/4 port and TPU seals make it suitable for general industrial automation within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X475S Is Used
Material Transfer Gates
The 475 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa effectively actuate diverter gates on conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation via clamp-on sensors.
Automated Press Feeding
Delivers consistent linear motion to push blanks or components into a stamping press, where the adjustable cushion decelerates the 20 mm rod smoothly at the end of the 475 mm travel.
Pallet Layer Positioning
Positions pallet layers or stops in automated storage systems. The -S magnet option enables reliable mid-stroke and end-stroke sensing for precise inventory handling logic.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X475S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series, which provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter overall length is needed, the 40 mm bore SC40 series offers 628 N at the same pressure. With a 475 mm stroke, ensure the rod is supported against side loads; long unsupported strokes can cause rod bearing wear and bending. An external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended for non-axial loads.
To guarantee a correct replacement, match five key points: the 50 mm bore, 475 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting 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 SC50X475S FAQ
At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force is 1767 N. At the standard 0.5 MPa, it delivers 982 N of push force. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet along the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without physical contact.
