About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X163S
The SC80X163S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 163 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and ejector tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for piston-position feedback. The 25 mm diameter rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the PT3/8 ports keep flow rates high for rapid cycling.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X163S Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gate
The 163 mm stroke pushes a diverter flap across a packaging line. The built-in magnet lets a CMSG sensor confirm gate position before the next cycle.
Assembly Press
Delivers up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings. The adjustable cushion softens the impact at full extension.
Sensor-Monitored Clamp
The -S magnet works with DMSG solid-state sensors to verify clamp closure on a welding fixture, preventing cycle start if the part is not secured.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X163S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, the 100 mm bore SC100 series offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, faster actuator the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. Always match replacement cylinders on all five points: 80 mm bore, 163 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
At 163 mm stroke the rod is well-supported within the standard range, but if side loads are present, use an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and piston seals from premature 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 SC80X163S 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, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clip directly onto the barrel without any modification.
