The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60SFB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
This AirTAC SC50X60SFB double-acting cylinder delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for pressing, clamping, and material transfer. The 60 mm stroke is compact, keeping the extended length around 210 mm (body length A of 150 mm plus stroke), which fits tight machine envelopes.
The model carries a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG or DMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. A rear rectangular flange (FB mount, part F-SC50FB) bolts the cap end rigidly to a machine frame, and the 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 thread handles direct tooling attachment. Ports are PT1/4, and the adjustable air cushion absorbs end-of-stroke impact over a 21 mm cushion length.

The 60 mm stroke and 982 N force at 0.5 MPa reliably raise and lower part stops on packaging conveyors. The built-in magnet lets a CMSG sensor confirm the gate is fully retracted before the next pallet indexes.
With 1767 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits light assembly presses and welding clamps. The rear FB flange mounts rigidly against a bulkhead, keeping the rod end free for tooling.
The -S magnet option turns this basic cylinder into a sensor-ready actuator. Mount DMSG solid-state switches on the tie-rods to detect end-of-stroke for a part-eject sequence without external flag brackets.
Choose the SC50 bore when your application needs roughly 1000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you can accept a smaller actuator, stepping down to the SC40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption. For higher force, the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, FB rear flange mounting, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is shorter and not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 types.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 982 N and pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. The body length A is 150 mm versus a typical ISO 15552 length of 175 mm for a 50 mm bore. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
