The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1000 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1000mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC80X1000 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a robust linear actuator for long-travel applications. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration across the full 1000 mm stroke.
With a compact body length A of 182 mm and PT3/8 ports, this genuine AirTAC cylinder is designed for filtered air systems operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa. The standard TPU seals offer a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, suitable for general industrial automation tasks requiring a 1000 mm linear movement.

Pushes or pulls heavy bins and pallets across 1-meter wide conveyor transfer stations, using its 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa to move loads reliably.
Provides the 1000 mm closing stroke for large-format wood or composite panel presses, with adjustable cushioning to prevent impact damage on sensitive surfaces.
Actuates tall diverter gates in logistics sortation systems, leveraging the full meter of travel to redirect high-volume parcel flows between chutes.
Choose the SC80 bore when your application requires a force class around 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N. This 1000 mm stroke is within the standard 1500 mm maximum for the 80 mm bore.
For a stroke of this length, side loading is a critical consideration. The unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral forces, so always use an external linear guide or rod support to absorb side loads. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a perfect 5-point match: 80 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT3/8 thread, basic mounting, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
A 1000 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod is susceptible to buckling under compressive loads and bending from side forces. You must guide the load externally with a linear rail or rod support. The cylinder itself should only handle axial push/pull forces; any lateral load must be absorbed by the external guide system.
