About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SLB
The SC80X160SLB 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 with an M20x1.5 rod thread.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and an LB foot mounting bracket (F-SC80LB) for secure axial surface installation. The 28 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke end, and the PT1/8 port supplies filtered air for reliable cycling across the -20 to +70 °C TPU seal range.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SLB Is Used
Material Handling & Transfer
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates transfer arms, lift-and-carry units, and part pushers on assembly conveyors. The LB foot mount provides a stable, bolted-down base for linear motion.
Clamping & Holding Fixtures
Ideal for pneumatic clamping in machining and welding jigs, where the 25 mm rod resists deflection. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke confirmation via CMSG sensors to interlock with machine controls.
Packaging & Palletizing
Operates case erectors, strapping heads, and pallet layer squaring devices. The adjustable cushion protects the cylinder and product by decelerating the 160 mm stroke before impact.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SLB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 for applications needing 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your load requires roughly 60% more force, step up to the SC100 bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). For lower force needs, the SC63 delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, LB foot mounting (F-SC80LB), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. 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 SC80X160SLB 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 increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X160SLB is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when air pressure is removed or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift under load. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
