The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1040 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1040mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC80X1040 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a long 1040 mm stroke, it is built for applications requiring significant linear travel. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration even under high cycle rates.
This tie-rod cylinder has a body length (A) of 182 mm, making its total extended length approximately 1222 mm. It uses PT3/8 ports and an M20x1.5 rod thread for secure tooling attachment. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation in temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, and the adjustable cushioning helps protect end caps from impact damage over millions of cycles.

Pushes or pulls heavy pallets and components across a 1040 mm span on packaging or assembly lines, using its 2513 N force at standard plant air pressure.
Applies consistent clamping pressure over a long travel distance in woodworking or composite lay-up fixtures, with the adjustable cushion preventing bounce at the end of the stroke.
Positions a filling head or discharge gate with a 1040 mm reach, handling the weight of the mechanism with the 25 mm rod and 4523 N peak thrust capability.
Selecting the SC80X1040 means choosing a robust 80 mm bore platform. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to a 63 mm bore reduces push force to 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, saving space and air consumption. For higher force needs, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. At this 1040 mm stroke length, the unsupported rod is subject to bending under side loads; always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent bearing wear and seal failure.
For a direct replacement, match five key specifications: the 80 mm bore, 1040 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a standard tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) it produces 2513 N pushing force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa due to the rod area.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with the same 1040 mm stroke, PT ports, and basic mounting.
