About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SCA
The SC80X160SCA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel, plus a rear single clevis (CA) for pivoting motion. The F-SC80CA clevis bracket allows the cylinder to swing as it actuates, making it suitable for articulated linkages and dump mechanisms.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SCA Is Used
Hopper & Gate Actuation
The rear clevis mount and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for opening and closing discharge gates on hoppers, silos, and agricultural spreaders.
Sortation Pushers
With a 160 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing, it reliably pushes cartons off belt conveyors. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the stroke.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
The pivoting clevis allows the cylinder to swing into position for clamping. The built-in magnet confirms full extension or retraction before a weld cycle starts.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a step up in force, the 100 mm bore SC100 series offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For lighter, more compact installations, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.
When replacing, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, the CA rear clevis mounting, and the -S magnet option. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC80X160SCA 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct match only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT ports, CA clevis, and magnet.
