About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060S
The AirTAC SC50X1060S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and an extended 1060 mm stroke, built with the classic tie-rod construction that keeps the barrel shorter than an ISO 15552 profile. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982 N pushing force and 825 N pulling force, rising to 1767 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. The 20 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion help manage end-of-stroke deceleration even on this long non-standard stroke.
This model includes the -S suffix, so a built-in magnet is fitted directly on the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp onto the barrel for rod-position feedback. The stroke exceeds the standard 1200 mm maximum for bore 50, making this a made-to-order configuration. Ports are PT1/4, the body length A is 150 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 1210 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060S Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 1060 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations. The built-in magnet lets sensors confirm full extension and retraction at each cycle.
Automated Gluing & Dispensing
Delivers a long, straight stroke for applying adhesives or sealants across large panels. Pair with an external guide to keep the dispense head perpendicular under side load.
Palletising Pusher Arm
Pushes boxes or trays onto a pallet with 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion softens the stop at both ends, protecting the palletiser frame.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 when your application needs around 982 N of push force at standard shop air; stepping up to a 63 mm bore raises that to 1559 N, while a 40 mm bore drops it to 628 N, both at 0.5 MPa. For this 1060 mm stroke, side-load management is critical — a long unsupported 20 mm rod can bend under off-axis force, so add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 1060 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no-bracket) mounting style.
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 SC50X1060S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder produces 982 N extending (push) and 825 N retracting (pull). 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 maximum standard stroke for a 50 mm bore SC cylinder is 1200 mm, but 1060 mm is not one of the standard catalogue strokes (25, 50, 75, 80, 100, 125, 150, 160, 175, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000). This is a non-standard made-to-order stroke — confirm lead time with your AirTAC distributor.
