The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X60TC 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.
The AirTAC SC50X60TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa). With a 50 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it suits compact linear actuation where the cylinder body must pivot during operation.
This model features a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing as the rod extends and retracts. The 20 mm diameter rod with M16x1.5 thread provides solid guidance, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly. Port size is PT1/4.

The pivoting action of the TC mount makes this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates on packaging conveyors, where the cylinder body must swing through an arc as the gate opens and closes.
With 982 N of force at standard shop air, the SC50X60TC provides ample clamping pressure for CNC fixtures and welding jigs, with the trunnion mount allowing the clamp arm to follow a curved path.
Used on silo chutes or feed gates, this cylinder's centre trunnion allows it to pivot as the gate swings. The TPU seals handle dusty, ambient-temperature farm environments reliably.
Choose the SC50 bore for mid-range force requirements up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. If you need more force, step up to the SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for lighter, faster applications, the SC40 offers 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The centre trunnion mount (F-SC50TC) is ideal when the cylinder must pivot at its midpoint—ensure the trunnion pins are aligned and supported on both sides.
For a direct replacement, match bore (50 mm), stroke (60 mm), PT1/4 port thread, centre trunnion mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC50 or equivalent tie-rod design.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 982 N and pulls with 825 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force rises to 1374 N. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, delivering 1767 N of push force. Always apply a safety factor for real loads.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. Mounting dimensions, body length, and accessory interfaces differ. Only replace another AirTAC SC50 tie-rod cylinder or a dimensionally verified equivalent.
