About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200SH
The SC80X1200SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration across the full 1200 mm stroke, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-to-long linear movements.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus Viton (FKM) seals (-H) that shift the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C. The body length A is 182 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1382 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200SH Is Used
High-Temperature Material Handling
The Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate reliably in ovens or drying lines up to 150°C, pushing or diverting hot products on conveyors.
Long-Stroke Clamping & Pressing
With 4523 N of force at 0.9 MPa and a 1200 mm reach, it is ideal for clamping large workpieces or operating long-travel presses in metal fabrication.
Autoclave & Sterilization Equipment
The FKM seal material withstands aggressive cleaning chemicals and steam, making the SC80X1200SH suitable for actuating doors or lifts in pharmaceutical autoclaves.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1200SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of force; if you require less, step down to the SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa), or move up to the SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. At 1200 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod is long—always check for side loads and consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if bending moments are present.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 1200 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This tie-rod cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC80X1200SH FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it produces 2513 N pushing and 2268 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC80X1200SH will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
