About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60S
The SC50X60S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 60 mm stroke and a 20 mm diameter piston rod, this model is well-suited for short, repetitive linear movements in compact automation cells.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A is 150 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 210 mm.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60S Is Used
Part Ejection
Short 60 mm stroke with sensor feedback reliably ejects small parts from injection molding or stamping dies, confirming retraction before the next cycle.
Diverter Gate Actuation
The 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for shifting a diverter gate on a light-duty conveyor line, with magnetic sensors confirming gate position.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 1767 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding small components during assembly, gluing, or ultrasonic welding processes.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring higher force, consider stepping up to the SC63 bore, which provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The SC50X60S is a standard-stroke model, well within the 1200 mm maximum for this bore size. The 20 mm rod provides good rigidity for this short stroke, but always ensure side loads are minimized or managed with external guides.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting configuration. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC50 series units.
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 SC50X60S 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series sensors. These clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or intermediate position detection.
