The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X165 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 165mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X165 is an 80 mm bore, 165 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides a push force of 2513 N and a pull force of 2268 N, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread. The cylinder body length (A) is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 347 mm.
This model features PT3/8 ports and an adjustable air cushion with a 28 mm cushion length at each end, softening end-of-stroke impact. The standard TPU seals and NBR O-rings suit a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. As a basic configuration, it ships without a magnet or mounting accessories, ready for direct integration or custom bracketry.

The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates diverter gates on medium-duty package handling conveyors, with the 165 mm stroke providing ample reach to push cartons onto a spur line.
Delivers a controlled 4523 N clamping force at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, ideal for holding steel fabrications during welding or assembly with the adjustable cushion preventing impact damage.
The 2268 N pull force retracts a lifting arm or hopper gate against gravity, with the tie-rod construction providing the rigidity needed for repetitive, high-cycle industrial tasks.
For applications requiring less force, consider stepping down to the 63 mm bore (SC63 series), which delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If a higher force is needed, the 100 mm bore (SC100 series) provides 3927 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 165 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, and basic mounting when replacing an existing unit.
At a 165 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads, but any significant side load requires an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bending and premature seal wear. For pivoting applications, consider the TC centre trunnion or CA/CB rear clevis mounting variants.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80X165 cylinder produces a theoretical push force of 3518 N and a pull force of 3175 N (calculated from the 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa). The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N.
This specific model code does not include the -S magnet suffix, so it does not have a built-in piston magnet. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, you would need to order the SC80X165-S variant, which includes the magnet and allows sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder barrel.
