About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600STC
The SC50X600STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 50 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, this model is built for mid-range linear actuation tasks where a balance of force and reach is critical. The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration at the end of each stroke.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) ships with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC50TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot and handle swinging loads. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, this genuine AirTAC unit uses standard TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600STC Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
The 600 mm stroke and trunnion mount allow this cylinder to pivot and push products across wide conveyor gates or sorting lanes, with sensor feedback confirming each cycle.
Automated Welding Fixtures
Delivers consistent clamping force up to 1767 N for holding parts in place. The built-in magnet allows sensors to verify clamp position before a robotic weld cycle begins.
Farm Equipment Actuation
Used on chute diverters or gate controls on agricultural machinery, where the trunnion mount accommodates the arc of motion and the TPU seals handle cold-weather starts down to -20 °C.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X600STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 63 mm bore delivers 1559 N. The 600 mm stroke on this 50 mm bore model requires careful management of side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional swap with another AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC50X600STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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. These values are based on the 50 mm bore and 20 mm rod diameter.
No. The SC series is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod lock, brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
