About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162
The AirTAC SC80X162 is an 80 mm bore, 162 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 ports suit mid-range automation tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred over a full ISO 15552 profile.
This model features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke shock. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 344 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range with standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162 Is Used
Package Sorting Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates diverter gates on medium-speed package handling lines, with the 162 mm stroke providing ample travel for lane switching.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies controlled clamping pressure in CNC woodworking or light metalworking fixtures. The adjustable cushion prevents part marking during rapid clamp engagement.
Hopper Door Actuation
Operates discharge doors on agricultural hoppers or silos, where the 80 mm bore provides enough force to overcome sticky material resistance and the tie-rod design tolerates dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore reduces push force to 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while a step up to 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. The 162 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore, which supports strokes up to 1500 mm.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 80 mm bore, 162 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and confirm whether a magnet is required. For strokes above 300 mm, consider an external guide or guided cylinder to protect the 25 mm rod from bending under side loads.
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 SC80X162 FAQ
At 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
This specific code (SC80X162) does not include the -S magnet option, so the piston does not have a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, order model SC80X162-S instead, which adds a magnetic ring to the piston for sensor clamping on the barrel.
