About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X605S
The AirTAC SC50X605S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 605 mm stroke, delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion are designed to handle mid-range pneumatic tasks, while the built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a body length A of 150 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 755 mm. Because the 605 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1200 mm for this bore, it is a made-to-order configuration. This is a genuine AirTAC cylinder, factory-built with TPU seals for a standard operating range of -20 to +70 °C and PT1/4 port threads.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X605S Is Used
Long-Reach Part Transfer
The 605 mm stroke moves components across wide conveyor gaps or between parallel lines, with the magnetic piston signaling position to the PLC for automated sequencing.
Vertical Lift Gate Actuation
Provides the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to raise and lower a moderate-weight safety or material gate, with sensor confirmation that the gate is fully open or closed.
Extended Clamping & Fixturing
Applies a consistent clamping force over a long travel distance to secure tall or deep workpieces in CNC fixtures, where the adjustable cushion prevents impact damage.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X605S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC50 when your application needs a force step up from the 32 mm bore (402 N at 0.5 MPa) without moving to the larger 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 605 mm stroke, side-load management is critical; an unsupported 20 mm rod extending over half a meter is susceptible to bending under lateral forces. Always use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearings and ensure smooth operation.
To replace an existing SC50X605S, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 605 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting configuration. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC50X605S 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 SC50X605S is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position or a suspended load if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
