About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590S
The SC50X590S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and 150 mm body length A provide a robust platform for mid-range linear tasks, with a 590 mm stroke suited to longer transfer and positioning moves.
This model includes the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly over a 21 mm cushion length, protecting end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590S Is Used
Part Transfer & Indexing
The 590 mm stroke moves components between conveyor lanes or assembly stations. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Clamping & Fixturing
With 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides secure workpiece clamping on CNC fixtures and welding jigs, with sensor feedback for automation interlocks.
Sorting Gate Actuation
Operates diverter gates on material handling lines. The tie-rod construction handles repetitive impact, and the adjustable cushion quiets end-of-stroke noise.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X590S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). If a shorter, more compact cylinder works, the SC40 offers 628 N at 0.5 MPa. At 590 mm of stroke, the 20 mm rod is approaching its unsupported length limit—side loads or off-axis mounting can cause rod deflection and premature bearing wear. Use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing, match bore (50), stroke (590), PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting 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 SC50X590S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa supply pressure, the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC50X590S means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
