About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020S
The AirTAC SC80X1020S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a non-standard 1020 mm stroke, built with a built-in magnet (S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed and solid-state sensors. At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513 N push force and 2268 N pull force, scaling to 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end, protecting end caps from impact. The body length A is 182 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 1202 mm. The long 1020 mm stroke requires careful side-load management—an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending and uneven seal wear.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020S Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
The 1020 mm stroke moves parts across wide conveyor gaps or between distant process stations, with sensor feedback confirming end-of-stroke position.
Palletising & Stacking
Delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa to lift and position layers of goods on pallets; the built-in magnet enables reliable stroke sensing in dusty warehouse environments.
Extended Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force over a long travel distance for large workpieces on assembly jigs, with adjustable cushioning to reduce vibration at end stops.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1020S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when the 50 mm bore's 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient; the 80 mm bore more than doubles that output. If your application needs even higher force, step up to the 100 mm bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 1020 mm stroke, side-loading is a critical design factor—the unsupported 25 mm rod can deflect under lateral forces, so use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 1020 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration.

- ✓ 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 SC80X1020S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) the cylinder generates 3518 N of push force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force is 513 kgf. The pull force on the return stroke is slightly lower due to the 25 mm rod area, delivering 2268 N at 0.5 MPa.
The 25 mm diameter rod on this 1020 mm stroke cylinder is not designed to support lateral forces. You must install an external linear guide rail to absorb side loads, or switch to a guided cylinder assembly. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston—it does not hold the load or prevent rod deflection.
