About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SH
The SC80X160SH is an 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder built for high-temperature environments. Its Viton (FKM) seals shift the operating range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, foundries, and hot-process machinery where standard seals would degrade.
At 0.5 MPa air pressure this cylinder generates 2513 N of push force and 2268 N on the pull stroke. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration. The built-in magnet (suffix S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke detection without external brackets.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SH Is Used
High-Temperature Actuation
Operates reliably in ovens, autoclaves, and foundry equipment where ambient temperatures reach 150°C, thanks to the Viton (FKM) seal package.
Heavy Parts Transfer
With 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder efficiently transfers heavy castings or weldments along a production line.
Sensor-Controlled Clamping
The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm clamp position in automated welding or assembly fixtures.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs roughly 2.5 kN of force at 0.5 MPa. If you require higher force, step up to the SC100 which delivers 3927 N push. For lower force and a lighter assembly, the SC63 provides 1559 N. For strokes of 160 mm, rod bearing stress is moderate, but if side loads are present, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder. To replace an existing unit, match five points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, the -S magnet option for sensors, and the basic mount configuration.
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 SC80X160SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N push.
Yes, the 'H' suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, rated for continuous operation from 0°C to 150°C. Standard TPU seals are limited to -20°C to 70°C.
