About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600
The AirTAC SC50X600 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 20 mm piston rod and PT1/4 ports, this 600 mm stroke model is well-suited for medium-reach material transfer and clamping operations.
This cylinder features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (21 mm) to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, reducing impact and noise. The body length A is 150 mm, bringing the total extended length to approximately 750 mm. It operates on filtered air (40 µm) within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C using TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600 Is Used
Medium-Reach Part Transfer
The 600 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa efficiently shuttle components between conveyor lines or workstations in automated assembly cells.
Clamping & Holding Fixtures
Provides stable, controlled clamping pressure for woodworking or light metal fabrication jigs, with the adjustable cushion ensuring smooth engagement and release.
Material Pusher Stations
Ideal for pushing cartons or trays onto a packaging line, where the 1767 N max force at 0.9 MPa offers a robust reserve for sticky or misaligned loads.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. At a 600 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is extended significantly; ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal to prevent rod bending. An external guide or a guided cylinder should be used if side loads are present.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and no magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance compatibility with an existing AirTAC SC50X600 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC50X600 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC50X600 cylinder generates a theoretical push force of 1374 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 825 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area reduction from the 20 mm piston rod.
Only if the load is purely axial and well-aligned. At 600 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads. For any off-axis force, install an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearings and seals.
