About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600S
The AirTAC SC50X600S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 50 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, it features a 20 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/4 ports, and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at each end.
This model includes the -S suffix for a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing. The body length A is 150 mm, giving a total extended length of 750 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600S Is Used
Material Sorting Gates
The 600 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuate diverter gates on medium-speed conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensor feedback to a PLC for precise timing.
Automated Clamping Fixtures
Ideal for long-reach clamping in woodworking or metal fabrication jigs. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at full extension, while the -S magnet confirms clamp position before a machining cycle starts.
Pallet Stop & Release
Deploys a robust stop pin across a 600 mm span in pallet-handling systems. The tie-rod construction handles repetitive impact, and the magnetic piston allows easy integration of CMSG sensors for inventory tracking triggers.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 40 mm bore SC40 series provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 delivers 1559 N. The 600 mm stroke is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for 50 mm bore SC cylinders. At this stroke length, ensure the rod is not subjected to high side loads; if lateral forces are present, use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC or equivalent tie-rod designs.
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 SC50X600S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 982 N and the pull force on the retract stroke is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix designates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets or modifications.
