About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SG
The SC80X160SG is an 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel, enabling non-contact position sensing. The port thread is G (BSP parallel), and the cylinder features an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 342 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SG Is Used
Automated Clamping
The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in CNC machining, where the built-in magnet allows sensors to confirm clamp engagement before the cycle starts.
Part Ejection
With a 160 mm stroke and fast 30-800 mm/s speed range, it is suited for ejecting finished parts from a conveyor line. The G port thread simplifies integration with BSP-parallel plumbing systems.
Divert Gate Actuation
The adjustable cushioning protects the cylinder during high-cycle diverting operations. The magnet-equipped barrel allows easy installation of sensors to verify gate position for sorting accuracy.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SG the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a higher force is required, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 160 mm stroke, G port thread, and the built-in magnet when replacing this cylinder.
With a 160 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads. However, if the application involves any side loading, an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler is recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear.
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 SC80X160SG FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC 80 mm bore cylinder with a 160 mm stroke, G port thread, and a built-in magnet.
