About the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60SFA
The SC50X60SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a strong mid-range actuator for clamping and pressing tasks. Its 60 mm stroke and 20 mm diameter piston rod provide a compact yet robust linear motion solution, with an adjustable air cushion softening end-of-stroke impact over a 21 mm cushion length.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback without external brackets. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC50FA) allows secure panel or bulkhead mounting on the rod side, and the standard TPU seals ensure reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60SFA Is Used
Sensor-Monitored Clamping
The built-in magnet and front flange mount make this cylinder ideal for automated fixtures where CMSG/DMSG sensors confirm clamp/unclamp status before a machining cycle starts.
Part Stops & Diverters
With 982 N of push force, it reliably stops or diverts medium-weight packages on conveyor lines. The short 60 mm stroke provides a fast cycle time for high-throughput sorting.
Press-Fit Assembly
The 1767 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa is well-suited for pressing bushings or bearings into housings. The front flange mount keeps the cylinder rigidly fixed during the press operation.
Is the Airtac SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60SFA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC50X60SFA when your application needs around 1000 N of force in a short stroke with sensor feedback. If you require more force, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. Always match replacements across five points: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mount, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
For this 60 mm stroke, side loading is typically minimal, but always ensure the load is guided and aligned with the rod axis to prevent premature rod bearing and seal wear.
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 SC50X60SFA 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 reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
It is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SC50X60 tie-rod cylinder that also uses a front flange mount, PT ports, and a magnetic piston. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders, as the SC series has a shorter body length.
