The AirTAC SC50 Standard Cylinder SC50X683 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 683mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC50X683 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a non-standard 683 mm stroke, built on the compact SC tie-rod platform. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull, scaling to 1767 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for linear tasks.
This model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with M16x1.5 male threads and PT1/4 ports. The body length A is 150 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 833 mm. An adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston over 21 mm to reduce end-of-stroke impact. Because the stroke exceeds the 1200 mm standard maximum for bore 50, this cylinder is a made-to-order item.

The 683 mm stroke moves components between widely spaced conveyor lanes or workstations, with 982 N of push force at standard line pressure to shift moderate payloads.
Applies 1767 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for pressing, holding, or bonding large panels, where the extended reach clears the tooling area during load/unload.
Operates a tall diverter chute or gate in material handling, using the full 683 mm stroke to swing a flap between two downstream lanes.
Choose the SC50X683 when the 50 mm bore's force class fits the load—if you need more push, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. For this 683 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads; always guide the load externally or pair the cylinder with a linear rail to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 50 mm bore, 683 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC50X683 produces 1374 N of push force and 1155 N of pull force (calculated from the 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa). The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, delivering 1963 N push.
For a stroke this long with a 20 mm rod, side loading must be avoided. The rod bearing is not designed to support bending moments. Always use an external guide system or a guided cylinder variant to prevent rod deflection and premature seal wear.
