The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1250STC 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 SC80X1250STC is a double-acting AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With an 80 mm bore, 25 mm diameter piston rod, and a long 1250 mm stroke, it generates substantial force for heavy linear tasks while the 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to protect end-cap components.
This specific model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) supplied with the TCM1 bracket for pivoting applications. The body length A is 182 mm, making the total extended length approximately 1432 mm. The standard PT1/8 port and M20x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

The 1250 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow this cylinder to pivot while pushing heavy pallets or components across a wide transfer station, with magnetic sensors confirming end-of-travel.
Ideal for large welding jigs that need to swing a heavy clamp arm into place. The trunnion mount handles the pivoting action, and the 4523 N max force ensures a secure hold.
Used on high-capacity chutes or conveyors to divert product flow. The long stroke provides full gate articulation, while the adjustable cushioning prevents hard stops under high-speed cycling.
When specifying, first verify the 80 mm bore's 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa meets your load requirement. If you need more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. For this 1250 mm stroke, side-load management is critical—an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending under lateral force. Always use an external guide or a self-guided tooling plate.
For a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 1250 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC80TC bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical 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.
No. The SC80X1250STC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the stroke end to reduce impact; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
