About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60CA
The SC50X60CA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 982 N of push force and 825 N on the pull stroke, making it a solid mid-range actuator for moderate mechanical loads.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread and PT1/4 port connections. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the 150 mm body length A results in a compact extended length of approximately 210 mm. The CA clevis bracket (F-SC50CA) allows the cylinder to swing through an arc, absorbing misalignment in the plane of motion.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60CA Is Used
Dump Mechanism Actuation
The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating small dump hoppers or tilting bins in agricultural and light industrial equipment.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivering nearly 1 kN of force, this cylinder is well-suited for pneumatic clamping, holding workpieces during machining, or powering assembly jigs where the tooling plate pivots.
Diverter Gate Operator
The SC50X60CA can pivot a diverter gate on a conveyor line. Its adjustable cushioning reduces end-of-stroke impact, extending the life of the gate mechanism.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50 bore when your application needs roughly 1000 N of force at standard plant air pressure; if you need more, step up to the SC63 which delivers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, or drop to the SC40 (628 N) for a lighter, more compact solution. The 60 mm stroke is a standard catalog length for this bore.
For replacement, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the CA rear single clevis mounting style, and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles; it is a shorter tie-rod design that must be replaced with another AirTAC SC50 or an equivalent 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 SC50X60CA 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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and has a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. The mounting dimensions and accessory interfaces are different, so it is not a drop-in replacement for an ISO 15552 cylinder.
