About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160FA
The AirTAC SC80X160FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 160 mm stroke, supplied with a front rectangular flange (FA) for rigid panel mounting. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing and 2268 N pulling force, rising to 4523 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 pneumatic ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 28 mm long, and the body length A is 182 mm. The standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160FA Is Used
Panel-Mounted Clamping
The front flange bolts directly to a machine panel, allowing the 80 mm bore cylinder to drive a clamp or press plate with 2513 N of force at standard line pressure.
Part Stops & Diverters
With 160 mm of stroke, this cylinder positions a stop gate or diverter arm on a conveyor line, handling medium-weight packages reliably at up to 800 mm/s.
Press & Forming Assist
The 4523 N maximum push force at 0.9 MPa suits light press-fit, forming, or riveting operations where the cylinder is mounted on a vertical or horizontal fixture plate.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when the SC63 (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) is undersized; step up to the SC100 (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the application demands higher force. The 160 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting (accessory F-SC80FA), and the absence of a magnet. Always guide the rod externally if side loads are present, even on short strokes, to protect the rod bearing and seals.
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 SC80X160FA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 4523 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and its body length is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles. Replace only with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the bore, stroke, port thread, and FA front flange mounting.
