About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X100CA
The AirTAC SC80X100CA is an 80 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 100 mm stroke suits short-transfer and clamping tasks where a compact footprint is needed, while the 25 mm diameter piston rod provides robust resistance to bending.
This model is configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during actuation—ideal for applications where the load path is not perfectly linear. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact noise and extending seal life in high-cycle operations.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X100CA Is Used
Agricultural Implement Actuation
Operates chute deflectors, hopper doors, and linkage pivots on harvesters and spreaders. The rear clevis mount accommodates the swinging motion of linkage arms, while the 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy grain gates reliably.
Conveyor Diverter Gates
Pivots a diverter gate or plough on a belt conveyor to sort packages or bulk material. The CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing as the gate moves through its arc, and the adjustable cushion absorbs the impact of the gate hitting its end stop.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Provides the clamping force for automotive or structural steel welding jigs. The 80 mm bore generates ample force to hold workpieces rigidly during welding, and the clevis mount allows the cylinder to self-align as the clamp arm closes.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X100CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 4523 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC63 bore saves space and air consumption (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). For higher forces, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no special stroke-length considerations apply.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the CA rear single clevis mount (accessory F-SC80CA), and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder uses the standard TPU seals and PT threads—if your original unit had a magnet or G threads, those must be matched exactly to ensure sensor and fitting compatibility.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X100CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 3518 N. The maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa delivers 5026 N of push force (theoretical). Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
Yes, provided your original unit is an 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, double-acting SC series with a rear single clevis mount (F-SC80CA), PT3/8 ports, and no built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC or equivalent tie-rod cylinders of the same configuration.
