About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X15
The SC80X15 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a compact 15 mm stroke from an 80 mm bore. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N push force, making it suitable for short-throw clamping, ejecting, or pressing tasks where space along the stroke axis is limited.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 rod thread and PT3/8 ports. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 197 mm. Adjustable air cushioning (28 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston at both ends to reduce end-cap impact in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X15 Is Used
Short-Throw Clamping
The 15 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa suit jig and fixture clamping where the workpiece requires only a brief linear travel to lock into position.
Part Ejection
Delivers a rapid, high-force push over 15 mm to eject formed or stamped parts from a die or mould, with adjustable cushioning to soften the return stroke.
Compact Diverter Gate
Fits into tight conveyor junctions to divert packages or products with a short, decisive linear motion, leveraging the 80 mm bore's force for reliable actuation.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X15 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing a shorter stroke in the same 80 mm bore, this 15 mm unit keeps the force capability of the 80 mm family while minimising installed length. If the load requires less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) saves air consumption and physical size. For a longer stroke in the same bore, standard strokes up to 1500 mm are available.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: bore (80 mm), stroke (15 mm), port thread (PT3/8), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and magnet option (none). The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC80X15 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80X15 produces 3518 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force on the retract stroke. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N push.
No. The SC80X15 is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding without live pressure, an external rod brake, mechanical lock, or pilot-operated check valve is required.
