About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160
The SC80X160 is an 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20×1.5 male thread.
With a compact body length of 182 mm (A dimension) and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, this cylinder decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The PT3/8 port supplies filtered air, and the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. It is a genuine AirTAC actuator built for reliable industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160 Is Used
Package Sorting Gates
The 160 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably divert cartons and parcels on medium-speed conveyor lines, with the 28 mm cushion absorbing gate impact.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers over 4500 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding or machining. The 25 mm rod resists bending under direct axial loads.
Press & Forming Tools
Ideal for small pneumatic presses requiring a compact 182 mm body length. The double-acting design provides controlled extend and retract strokes for consistent forming cycles.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of push force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC63 bore saves space and air consumption (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). For heavier loads, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no accessory bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles; it is a tie-rod design that is shorter in overall length.
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 SC80X160 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
