The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X880S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 880mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X880S delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for linear tasks. With an 880 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a long reach while the adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end absorbs energy to reduce end-of-stroke impact.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise position feedback. The total extended body length is approximately 1030 mm, and the standard PT1/4 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

Moving components between stations on an automated line where an 880 mm stroke is needed and magnetic sensors confirm full extension and retraction.
Pressing or inserting parts in a fixture, using the 1767 N force at 0.9 MPa and sensor feedback to sequence the next operation.
Operating a sliding gate or diverter chute where the long stroke directs material flow and end-of-stroke sensing is required.
When selecting a cylinder for an 880 mm stroke, verify that the 20 mm rod is adequately supported against side loads; for applications with off-centre forces, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending. If 1767 N of thrust is insufficient, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 2805 N at the same 0.9 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 880 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, basic mounting, and the integrated magnet (-S suffix) to ensure sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, 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 increases to 1767 N.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, which allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel for position detection.
