About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162S
The SC80X162S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 162 mm stroke. It produces a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for contactless position detection. The standard PT1/8 port, 28 mm adjustable air cushion, and TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C make it a versatile workhorse for general industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily operates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation to the PLC.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers up to 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding or assembly. The 162 mm stroke accommodates taller fixtures without a bulky cylinder.
Palletizer Pushers
The 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction handle the repetitive side loads of pushing boxes onto a pallet. Magnetic sensors verify each push cycle is complete.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X162S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when your application needs between roughly 2500 N and 4500 N of pneumatic force. If your load requires less force, stepping down to the SC63 bore reduces push force to 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, saving air consumption. For higher force, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure.
For this 162 mm stroke, the standard tie-rod construction provides adequate rod support. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure an exact match on five points: 80 mm bore, 162 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no accessory) mounting, and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility. Never substitute with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, as the SC series has a shorter body length.
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 SC80X162S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder produces 2513 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet is integrated into the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without external brackets.
