The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1250 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1250mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC80X1250 is a double-acting tie-rod 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 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model provides a substantial 1250 mm stroke, well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.
This cylinder features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1432 mm. Ports are PT3/8 with an M20x1.5 rod thread, and the standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

The 1250 mm stroke pushes heavy pallets across roller conveyors in automated warehouses, with the 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa easily handling loaded pallet inertia.
Used in woodworking or metal fabrication to clamp large workpieces over a wide bed, the adjustable cushion prevents hammering at the end of the 1250 mm travel.
Operates a large diverter gate on a grain elevator. The 80 mm bore provides ample force to shift the gate, while the tie-rod design handles dusty agricultural environments.
Choose the SC80X1250 when your application needs around 2500 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you require more force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. For less force, the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N. At this 1250 mm stroke, the unsupported rod is long; ensure the load is guided externally or use a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and seal wear from side loads.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: bore (80 mm), stroke (1250 mm), port thread (PT3/8), mounting style (basic), and magnet option (none). This SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the SC80X1250 generates a theoretical push force of 3518 N. The pull force on the retract stroke at the same pressure is 3168 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod diameter.
It is not recommended. At a 1250 mm stroke, the 25 mm diameter rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide rail or rod support to ensure linear motion and prevent premature seal and bearing failure.
