About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X800SH
The SC50X800SH 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, 20 mm rod, and 800 mm stroke suit mid-range linear tasks requiring extended reach without stepping up to a larger frame size.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus Viton (FKM) seals (-H) that shift the operating range to 0–150 °C. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly, while the PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread keep connections standard.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X800SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
Viton seals enable reliable operation in ovens, autoclaves, or foundry equipment up to 150 °C, where standard seals would degrade.
Long-Reach Sorting Gates
The 800 mm stroke moves diverters or gates across wide conveyor sections, with magnetic sensors confirming open/closed position.
Sensor-Monitored Press Feed
Built-in magnet supports CMSG/DMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection in automated stamping or injection moulding feeds.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X800SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when your load falls within the 982 N (push at 0.5 MPa) range. If you need more force, the SC63 delivers 1559 N at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact setup, the SC40 provides 628 N. At 800 mm stroke, the unsupported rod can experience bending under side load—add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 50 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, built-in magnet (-S), and Viton seals (-H). The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC50X800SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC50X800SH is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted. If load holding is required, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
