About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160LB
The AirTAC SC80X160LB is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This 80 mm bore model is configured with an LB foot mount (F-SC80LB) for secure axial surface mounting, making it straightforward to bolt onto machine frames. The 160 mm stroke sits well within the standard range, and the PT1/4 port thread ensures compatibility with common pneumatic fittings.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160LB Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on packaging and material handling lines, directing products between lanes.
Clamping & Pressing
Ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures and small assembly presses where a controlled 160 mm stroke and high force are needed to hold parts during machining or bonding.
Agricultural Machinery
Used to actuate chutes, hopper doors, and sorting mechanisms on farm equipment, providing robust performance in dusty environments with filtered air.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160LB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when your application needs more force than an SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) but doesn't require the bulk of an SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 160 mm stroke, the standard tie-rod design provides good rigidity. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, LB foot mounting, and no magnet. The cylinder body length is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 342 mm.
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 SC80X160LB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (182 mm) than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
