About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60N
The SC50X60N is a 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa, making it a capable mid-range actuator for moderate-duty linear tasks. This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, the standard elastomer for general industrial air service within the -20 to +70 °C temperature band.
With a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, the cylinder body has a compact length A of 150 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 210 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 21 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. This specific code, SC50X60N, specifies the NBR seal option; it does not include a magnet or mounting accessories, arriving as a basic tie-rod unit ready for your choice of bracket.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60N Is Used
Part Diverter Gate
Actuates a diverter flap on a conveyor line, using its 982 N push force to reliably redirect packages or components between lanes in a sorting system.
Clamping & Staking Fixture
Provides consistent clamping pressure for a welding or assembly jig. The NBR seals and 60 mm stroke suit the short, repetitive linear moves common in metal fabrication cells.
Bin Gate Actuator
Opens and closes a sliding gate on a seed or grain hopper. The double-acting air control ensures positive opening and closing, even with some dust present, at standard plant air pressure.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60N the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. Conversely, if space is tight and 628 N is sufficient, the 40 mm bore SC40 is a lighter alternative. This 60 mm stroke is a standard length and does not require side-load guidance under normal axial loading.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, the NBR seal material (code N), and the basic mounting configuration. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC50 tie-rod units of the same stroke.
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 SC50X60N FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
The 'N' suffix designates the seal material as NBR (nitrile rubber). This is the standard seal option for general-purpose pneumatic applications with an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. It replaces the default TPU seal.
