About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X483S
The AirTAC SC50X483S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 483 mm stroke is a non-standard length exceeding the standard 1200 mm maximum for this bore, making it a made-to-order unit for applications needing a precise linear travel just under half a meter.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) that allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for contactless position sensing. The 20 mm diameter piston rod provides solid column strength, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the load smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X483S Is Used
Part Ejection
The 483 mm stroke pushes rejected items off a wide conveyor line. The built-in magnet confirms full extension and retraction at each cycle.
Automated Gluing Station
Applies a glue bead across a 483 mm panel width. The adjustable cushion prevents splatter at the stroke ends by decelerating the piston smoothly.
Pallet Layer Transfer
Shifts a layer of boxes laterally onto a pallet stacker. The 1767 N force at 0.9 MPa handles the inertial load of a full product layer.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X483S the Right Cylinder?
For a step up in force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, a 58% increase. If a shorter, standard stroke is acceptable, consider the SC50X450 which is available from stock. At 483 mm, the rod extends significantly; ensure the load is guided externally or use a guided cylinder variant if side forces are present, as long unsupported strokes on a 20 mm rod can experience bending moments.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 483 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no integrated bracket), and the presence of the magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures a direct fit for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with the same sensor setup.
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 SC50X483S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 1374 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower at 825 N due to the area occupied by the 20 mm piston rod.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet specifically for mounting AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel. This allows for non-contact end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position detection without external flags.
