About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590
The AirTAC SC50X590 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 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 mid-range automation tasks requiring a 590 mm linear stroke.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 150 mm, making the total extended length approximately 740 mm. It uses PT1/4 ports and an M16x1.5 rod thread for easy integration.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590 Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
Ideal for pushing boxes or components off a conveyor line where a 590 mm reach is needed to clear the belt width.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force up to 1767 N for holding workpieces during welding or assembly operations.
Farm Equipment Actuation
Operates chutes, gates, or diverters on agricultural machinery, handling dusty environments with its durable tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore (879 N push at 0.7 MPa); for higher force, the 63 mm bore provides 2182 N at the same pressure. This 590 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
At this stroke length, ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads—long, unsupported rods can bend under lateral force. Use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if side loading is present. For a direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT 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 SC50X590 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 1374 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa, reduced by the 20 mm rod area.
No. The SC50X590 is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when air pressure is removed or the valve is centered. The piston will drift. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
