About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600H
The SC50X600H is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, built on the reliable SC tie-rod platform. At the standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure, it provides 1374 N of push force, while the Viton (FKM) seals extend the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments like autoclaves or foundries.
This model features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, and the basic body length (dimension A) is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 750 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600H Is Used
High-Temperature Process Actuation
Viton seals enable reliable operation in autoclave lid lifting, hot stamping presses, and drying oven door actuation where ambient temperatures reach up to 150°C.
Grain Silo Gate Control
The 600 mm stroke and 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa efficiently operate large slide gates on silos and hoppers, controlling the flow of bulk materials.
Long-Reach Part Transfer
Ideal for pushing heavy totes or pallets across a 600 mm span on a roller conveyor, where the 20 mm rod provides the necessary column strength for the extension.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600H the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore (SC63) increases push force to 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. If a shorter, more compact cylinder is acceptable, the 40 mm bore (SC40) delivers 879 N at the same pressure. This 600 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
At this stroke length, avoid applying direct side loads to the unsupported rod end, as bending moment can damage the rod bearing and seals. Use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler for long-stroke applications. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, basic mounting, and the Viton seal designation (H).
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 SC50X600H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
No. The SC50X600H is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
