About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X580S
The AirTAC SC50X580S is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 580 mm stroke, factory-built with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors. At the standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure it generates 1374 N of push force, and at the maximum 0.9 MPa it reaches 1767 N, making it a capable mid-range actuator for medium-length linear moves.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male rod thread and PT1/4 pneumatic ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, and the body length A is 150 mm. Because the 580 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for this bore, it is a made-to-order non-standard stroke unit—confirm lead time with your AirTAC distributor.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X580S Is Used
Medium-Reach Part Transfer
The 580 mm stroke and 1767 N push force at 0.9 MPa suit pick-and-place or part-transfer stations on packaging and assembly lines where a mid-range linear reach is needed and sensor confirmation of end-of-stroke is required via the built-in magnet.
Clamping & Holding Fixtures
Delivers 982 N at 0.5 MPa for consistent low-to-medium-force clamping of workpieces in CNC or welding fixtures. The -S magnet lets you mount CMSG/DMSG sensors to verify clamp engagement before the cycle starts.
Sortation Gate Actuation
Operates diverter gates or flaps in material-handling systems. The 50 mm bore provides enough force to shift product flow, while the 580 mm stroke gives the long travel often needed to fully open or close a chute.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X580S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X580S when a 50 mm bore provides the right force envelope: at 0.5 MPa it pushes with 982 N. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore gives 1559 N at the same 0.5 MPa; if you need less, the SC40 bore delivers 628 N. For this 580 mm stroke, be aware that the 20 mm rod is unsupported beyond the front head—any side load or misalignment can cause rod bending or bearing wear. Use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler, or consider a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 50 mm bore, 580 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no accessory) mounting. This SC is a tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders—only replace another AirTAC SC50 of the same configuration.
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 SC50X580S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) the SC50 bore generates 1374 N of push force on the outstroke and 825 N of pull force on the instroke. The pull force is lower because the 20 mm rod reduces the effective piston area on the retract side.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders. Only replace another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT1/4 ports, built-in magnet, and basic mounting.
