About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SH
The SC50X600SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 50 mm bore with a 600 mm stroke. This model generates a theoretical push force of 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, and 982 N at a common 0.5 MPa line pressure, making it a strong mid-range actuator for industrial linear motion.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback. The -H suffix specifies a Viton (FKM) piston and rod seal package, which shifts the operating temperature range from the standard -20 to +70 °C up to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments where standard TPU seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SH Is Used
Autoclave & Sterilization Equipment
Viton seals withstand 150°C steam sterilization cycles, allowing this cylinder to operate reliably in autoclave doors, sterilizer conveyors, and medical device manufacturing where high heat and moisture are present.
Hot-Material Part Ejection
The 600 mm stroke provides extended reach for pushing hot-formed plastic or metal parts off a conveyor. The magnetic piston enables sensor confirmation of full retraction before the next cycle starts, preventing mold or die crashes.
Foundry & Kiln Actuation
With a 0-150°C temperature rating, this cylinder is ideal for actuating dampers, gates, or diverters near furnaces and kilns. The 1767 N of force at 0.9 MPa manages heavy gate valves in high-ambient-temperature ducting.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore reduces the push force to 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If the 1767 N at 0.9 MPa is insufficient, moving up to a 63 mm bore provides a substantial increase to 2805 N. This 600 mm stroke model is within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore. However, at this extended length, the 20 mm diameter piston rod is susceptible to bending under significant side loads; always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure a long service life.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 50 mm bore, the 600 mm stroke, the PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC50X600SH of the same configuration.
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 SC50X600SH 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC50 cylinder with matching bore, stroke, magnet option, and Viton seals.
