About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160S
The AirTAC SC80X160S delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a strong mid-range actuator for industrial automation. This 80 mm bore tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the load smoothly.
The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet embedded in the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. With a 160 mm stroke, the total extended body length is approximately 342 mm (182 mm body + stroke), and the PT3/8 ports supply filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160S Is Used
Material Transfer Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensors to confirm gate position for interlocking with upstream equipment.
Clamping & Fixturing
Apply 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa to hold large weldments or castings during machining. The adjustable cushion decelerates the clamp arm to prevent part marking, while magnetic sensors verify clamp engagement.
Automated Pallet Lifting
Provides a robust 160 mm lift stroke for pallet dispensers or transfer cars. The tie-rod construction handles repetitive cycling, and the integrated magnet enables simple retrofitting of position sensors for inventory control systems.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 4523 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If you require higher force, step up to the SC100 bore which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. The 160 mm stroke is a standard length well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.
For this model, the -S magnet is already included, so you can immediately add CMSG/DMSG sensors. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the basic mounting (no brackets), and the integrated magnet. Any side-loaded application with this 25 mm rod should use an external guide to prevent rod bending.
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 SC80X160S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N (retracting the 25 mm rod reduces the effective piston area). At the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, push force increases to 4523 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC80X160S means a magnet is built into the piston. You can directly clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without any modifications.
