About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060STC
The AirTAC SC50X1060STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 150 mm body length A combine with the 1060 mm stroke for a total extended length of approximately 1210 mm, making it suitable for long-reach linear actuation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC50TC). The trunnion allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, accommodating swinging loads. Standard PT ports (1/4") and TPU seals complete the configuration.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060STC Is Used
Long-Stroke Part Transfer
The 1060 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor stations. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, following the part's arc during transfer without binding.
Automated Welding Fixture
Positions a welding torch or clamping arm with a long, controlled linear movement. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing via CMSG/DMSG sensors for precise cycle confirmation.
Pallet Dispenser Gate
Acts as a long-throw gate or stop in pallet handling systems. The 982 N force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient to hold or release a stack of empty pallets, while the trunnion mount handles the pivoting action.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X1060STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 bore for mid-range force requirements; the next step down is the SC40 (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the step up is the SC63 (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa). This 1060 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for the 50 mm bore—confirm lead time with your AirTAC distributor. For strokes over 300 mm, always check side-load conditions: a long, unsupported 20 mm rod can bend under lateral force. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
For replacement, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 1060 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC50TC with TCM1 bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This cylinder is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC50 tie-rod 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 SC50X1060STC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 982 N pushing force and 825 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It will only drop-in replace another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, TC centre trunnion mount, and built-in magnet.
