About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SN
The SC80X160SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration over a 160 mm stroke, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-duty linear tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke position feedback without external brackets. The NBR (nitrile) seals suit standard temperature environments from -20 to +70 °C, and the PT1/8 port threads connect to common pneumatic fittings.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SN Is Used
Material Handling Gates
Operates diverter gates and stops on package conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet confirming gate position to the PLC for reliable sortation.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides 2513 N of clamping force in CNC woodworking or light metalworking jigs, where sensor confirmation ensures the part is secured before machining starts.
Palletizer Pushers
Pushes boxes onto pallets in end-of-line packaging cells. The NBR seals handle the ambient warehouse temperatures, and the magnetic piston enables stroke-end detection.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160SN the Right Cylinder?
For higher force requirements, step up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series, which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If space is constrained and less force is acceptable, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders across five key points: bore (80 mm), stroke (160 mm), PT port thread, NBR seal material, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
At 160 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported within standard limits, but any side load should be managed with an external guide or linear bearing to prevent rod bending and premature seal 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 SC80X160SN FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the theoretical push force is 3518 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area reduction from the 25 mm piston rod.
Yes, provided the original cylinder was an 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port, and NBR seal unit. The -S suffix adds a built-in magnet, which is fully backward compatible and simply enables you to add magnetic sensors if needed later.
