About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SFA
The SC50X600SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, this model includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC50FA) for secure panel mounting.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion, with a 21 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The total extended body length is approximately 750 mm, calculated from the 150 mm body length A plus the 600 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SFA Is Used
Material Stop & Transfer
The 600 mm stroke and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for stopping or transferring boxes and pallets on conveyor lines. The front flange mount provides rigid alignment.
Automated Clamping
With a built-in magnet for sensor feedback, this cylinder is well-suited for automated jigs and fixtures. The 20 mm rod provides robust clamping force for machining or assembly operations.
Bin Pusher & Diverter
The long 600 mm stroke combined with a front flange mount allows for deep reach into racks or chutes, pushing products onto a diverter lane. The adjustable cushion ensures quiet operation under high-cycle demands.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SFA the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is needed, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N at the same pressure. Always ensure the mounting and load alignment prevent side loading on the rod.
For this 600 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bearing bending are critical considerations. An external guide or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear and rod deflection. When replacing, match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) to ensure a direct fit.
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 SC50X600SFA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
No. The SC series is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston will drift or drop under load. For holding applications, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
