The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1000SH 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 SC80X1000SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 1000 mm stroke make it well-suited for long-travel material transfer, pressing, and clamping tasks where high force is needed over a metre of linear motion.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0-150°C for use in autoclaves, foundries, or hot-process automation.

Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate continuously at 150°C, making it ideal for heated platen presses, composite molding, and rubber curing stations where standard seals would degrade.
The 1000 mm stroke and 2513 N push force efficiently shuttle heavy pallets or engine blocks between conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet confirming full extend and retract positions.
With FKM seals resistant to steam and high temperatures, this cylinder reliably opens and seals sterilizer chamber doors, providing the necessary clamping force for a positive seal.
Choose the SC80 bore when your application requires between 2513 N and 4523 N of force at typical shop air pressures. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier loads, the SC100 provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa.
For this 1000 mm stroke, side loading is a critical design factor. An unsupported 25 mm rod extending a full metre is vulnerable to bending under even minor lateral forces. Always use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to absorb side loads and prevent premature rod bearing and seal wear. When replacing, match bore (80 mm), stroke (1000 mm), PT port thread, the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material to maintain the 150°C rating.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. For a 1000 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod, side loads or misalignment can cause the rod to bend or damage the bearing. An external guide rail or a self-guided rodless system is strongly recommended to ensure long service life.
