About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600FA
The AirTAC SC50X600FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, factory-assembled with an FA front rectangular flange for rigid panel or bulkhead mounting. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force, rising to 1767 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a capable mid-bore actuator for medium-duty linear tasks.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, while the TPU seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 750 mm for this 600 mm stroke configuration.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600FA Is Used
Medium-Duty Part Transfer
The 600 mm stroke moves components between conveyor lanes or workstations. The front flange mount secures the cylinder to a fixed bulkhead while the rod pushes or pulls a transfer carriage.
Panel-Mounted Clamping Fixture
With 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder drives a clamping arm or press plate. The FA flange bolts directly through a machine panel, simplifying integration into welding or assembly jigs.
Long-Reach Gate or Diverter
The 600 mm stroke actuates a sorting gate or product diverter on a packaging line. The adjustable cushion protects the end caps from impact at the end of the long travel.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 when your application needs roughly 980–1770 N of push force. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The FA front flange (accessory F-SC50FA) bolts directly to a machine panel, keeping the cylinder body cantilevered—ideal when the rear cap must remain accessible.
At 600 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod is long enough that side loads or off-axis mounting can cause rod deflection and premature bearing wear. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always align the load along the rod axis and consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if any lateral force is present. When replacing this cylinder, match all five key points: 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mount, and confirm whether a magnet is needed (this model has no built-in 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 SC50X600FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder produces 982 N push and 825 N pull. At 0.7 MPa push force is 1374 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than a typical ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is not guaranteed. Match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and FA front flange mounting. Always verify the body length A (150 mm) and the M16x1.5 rod thread against your existing setup.
