About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600N
The SC50X600N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 50 mm bore with a 600 mm stroke. It produces a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals as standard, suitable for operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. The cylinder body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 750 mm. Ports are PT1/4, and the adjustable air cushion at each end is 21 mm long, providing smooth deceleration for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600N Is Used
Material Transfer Gates
The 600 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, smoothly redirecting packages or bulk materials between lanes.
Long-Reach Clamping
Used in woodworking or metal fabrication jigs, the SC50X600N provides extended reach for clamping large workpieces. The 20 mm rod offers good rigidity for applying consistent holding pressure.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
This cylinder can control chutes or levers on harvesting and processing equipment. The NBR seals are a cost-effective choice for general-purpose agricultural environments within the standard temperature range.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600N the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore reduces push force to 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is required, the 63 mm bore delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. With a 600 mm stroke, this cylinder has a significant extended length; ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads. For non-linear motion or heavy side forces, consider pairing the cylinder with an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no integrated bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. This NBR-sealed variant is a direct substitute for another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with the same specifications.
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 SC50X600N FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes, it is a direct dimensional and functional replacement. The SC50X600N shares the same 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, and tie-rod construction. The only difference is the NBR seal material, which is also rated for -20 to +70 °C and is fully compatible with standard filtered compressed air.
