About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020
The AirTAC SC80X1020 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 ports make it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks requiring a 1020 mm working stroke.
With a body length of 182 mm and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, this tie-rod cylinder decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The SC80X1020 is a genuine AirTAC unit built for reliable service in industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020 Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Pushes packages or pallets off a main conveyor line onto a spur. The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa handles medium-weight sorting tasks reliably.
Press-Fit Assembly
Provides controlled force for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings. The adjustable cushion prevents part damage at the end of the stroke.
Bin Tippers
Actuates a tipping mechanism to empty bulk bins of granular material. The 1020 mm stroke gives the leverage needed for a full 90-degree rotation.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when your application needs around 2500 N of force at standard shop air pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. This 1020 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore. When specifying a replacement, match these five points: 80 mm bore, 1020 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. For strokes over 300 mm, be mindful of side loading—an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension can bend under lateral force. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
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 SC80X1020 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the SC80X1020 cylinder produces 3518 N of push force. The theoretical maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N.
This SC80X1020 comes with standard PT3/8 tapered threads. If your original cylinder has G3/8 parallel threads, you would need the SC80X1020G variant. Always match bore, stroke, port thread type, mounting, and magnet option for a direct drop-in replacement.
