About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SFA
The SC80X160SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 160 mm standard stroke. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513 N push force and 2268 N pull force, rising to 4523 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a front rectangular flange (FA) for secure end-face mounting. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the PT1/8 ports ensure straightforward pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SFA Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, while the front flange mount provides a rigid, space-efficient installation directly onto the frame.
Clamping & Pressing Fixtures
Use the 4523 N force at 0.9 MPa for powerful workpiece clamping in CNC fixtures or assembly jigs. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation via solid-state sensors for automated cycle start.
Sensor-Monitored Ejectors
The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to verify full extension and retraction, making this cylinder ideal for part-ejection systems where a missed stroke could cause a jam or tool crash.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SFA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80X160SFA when you need a mid-range force actuator with sensor feedback and a rigid front-flange mount. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting (accessory F-SC80FA), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. Always verify the tie-rod body length (A=182 mm) and mounting hole pattern against your existing setup.
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 SC80X160SFA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet is integrated into the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel groove to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
