About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X585
The AirTAC SC50X585 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 1374 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for consistent linear actuation in industrial automation tasks requiring a mid-range force output.
This specific configuration features a 585 mm stroke, a standard option within the SC50's maximum standard stroke length of 1200 mm. The cylinder body has a length (A) of 150 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 735 mm. It comes with PT1/4 ports, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X585 Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Actuating diverter gates or stops on a conveyor line where the 585 mm stroke provides the necessary reach and the 1374 N force at 0.7 MPa reliably moves medium-weight packages.
Clamping & Fixturing
Providing a strong, consistent clamping force for woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs. The 1767 N max force securely holds workpieces during machining or assembly.
Agricultural Machinery
Operating levers or positioning mechanisms on seeding or harvesting equipment, where the 50 mm bore's force and the long 585 mm stroke are needed for broad, sweeping movements.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X585 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50X585 when your application requires the 50 mm bore's force profile, which provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N at the same pressure. For a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N. For this 585 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present, as the 20 mm rod can be subject to bending moments. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 585 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
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 SC50X585 FAQ
The theoretical push force is 982 N at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum of 1767 N at the 0.9 MPa operating limit. The pull force on the return stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa due to the rod area.
It can replace another tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore, 585 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, M16x1.5 rod thread, and basic mounting, provided the dimensions match. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a direct replacement for those types.
