About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160H
The SC80X160H is an 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder built with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, extending its operating range to 0–150 °C. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513 N pushing force, and at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure it reaches 4523 N, making it a strong mid-range actuator for hot environments.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20×1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion on each end is 28 mm long, and the body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of about 342 mm. The standard stroke of 160 mm falls well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160H Is Used
High-Temperature Process Actuation
Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate continuously in ovens, autoclaves, or near heat sources up to 150 °C, where standard TPU seals would degrade rapidly.
Hot-Material Conveyor Diverting
With 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it reliably diverts hot castings, glass sheets, or baked goods on conveyors without seal failure from radiated heat.
Press and Clamping in Hot Zones
Delivers up to 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding, brazing, or hot-forming operations where ambient temperatures exceed 70 °C.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160H the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) is slightly underpowered but a 100 mm bore (3927 N) would be oversized. For this 160 mm stroke, side-load risk is moderate; if the rod must push an unguided load, add an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet. This H-suffix model specifically replaces units that require Viton seals for elevated-temperature duty up to 150 °C.
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 SC80X160H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (roughly 5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force rises to 3518 N. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, yielding a theoretical push of 5026 N, but AirTAC rates the maximum working push at 0.9 MPa as 4523 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length (182 mm A-length here) are not interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread (PT), and Viton seal option.
