The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X560 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 560mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X560 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a solid mid-range actuator for general automation. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration at end-of-stroke, while the 560 mm stroke suits medium-reach linear transfer tasks.
With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 710 mm. The PT1/4 port supplies standard factory air, and the M16x1.5 rod thread accepts standard rod-end accessories. This model uses TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range and ships without a magnet or mounting bracket, ready for custom integration.

Moves components between conveyor lines or indexing stations with a 560 mm reach, using 982 N of push force to shift moderate payloads.
Applies consistent clamping pressure in woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs, where the 50 mm bore provides ample force without over-engineering.
Pushes totes or bins off a gravity roller lane onto a takeaway conveyor, leveraging the long 560 mm stroke to clear the full width of the lane.
The SC50 bore sits between the lighter SC40 (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the more powerful SC63 (1559 N push). If your load requires more than 982 N of thrust, step up to the 63 mm bore; for lighter, faster-cycling applications, the 40 mm bore reduces air consumption. For this 560 mm stroke, ensure the rod is supported against side loads—long, unsupported strokes can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. Consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, any mounting accessory, and the magnet option. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), the SC50X560 produces 982 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa it generates 1374 N, and the maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 1767 N (200 kgf).
This standard SC50X560 does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback, order the SC50X560-S variant, which has a magnet embedded in the piston.
