About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200LB
The AirTAC SC80X1200LB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With an 80 mm bore and a 1200 mm stroke, it features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 port threads, making it a robust solution for long linear movements.
This model includes the factory-fitted LB foot mounting bracket (F-SC80LB) for secure surface installation. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 28 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. Its tie-rod construction keeps the overall body length compact at 182 mm plus stroke.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200LB Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Pusher
The 1200 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa efficiently push heavy boxes or pallets across wide conveyor sections in packaging and logistics lines.
Woodworking Panel Clamp
Applies even, controlled pressure across large panels during gluing or assembly. The LB foot mount provides a stable base for repetitive clamping operations.
Grain Silo Gate Actuator
Operates a heavy slide gate at the base of a silo or hopper. The 4523 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa handles sticky or compacted material with ease.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200LB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application requires between 2513 N and 4523 N of force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure.
For this 1200 mm stroke, side loads and rod deflection are critical considerations. The 25 mm rod is strong, but long unsupported strokes can experience bending under lateral force. Always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure linear motion. To replace an existing cylinder, match the 80 mm bore, 1200 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, LB foot mount, and basic (no magnet) configuration.

- ✓ 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 SC80X1200LB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
For a stroke of this length, never subject the rod to direct side loads. Install an external linear guide rail parallel to the cylinder to absorb transverse forces. Always use a floating rod coupler or a self-aligning rod end to connect the load, which compensates for minor misalignment and prevents bending stress on the rod bearing.
