About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60
The SC50X60 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a strong mid-range actuator for short linear moves. Its 50 mm bore houses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads, and the 60 mm stroke sits well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.
With a body length A of just 150 mm, this tie-rod cylinder fits neatly into machines where space is limited. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. PT1/4 ports and TPU seals are standard, suiting general industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60 Is Used
Part Stops & Gates
The 60 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa make the SC50X60 ideal for actuating part stops or small divert gates on conveyor lines, providing a firm, repeatable hold.
Clamping & Pressing
With 1767 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder excels in light-duty clamping, pressing, or staking fixtures where a short, powerful stroke is needed.
Packaging Machinery
Commonly used in case packers and cartoners for short-stroke pusher or flap-folding actions, the SC50X60's tie-rod design allows easy maintenance in high-cycle packaging lines.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore (SC63 series) provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, more compact cylinder is preferred, the 40 mm bore (SC40) offers 628 N at the same pressure. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five key points: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory bracket), and no magnet.
This 60 mm stroke is short and inherently rigid; side-load concerns are minimal. However, if the rod is subjected to any radial force, an external linear guide or rod-eye alignment coupler should be used to protect the rod bearing and piston seals from premature wear.
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 SC50X60 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a typical ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length A (150 mm) are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder with matching stroke, port, and mounting.
