About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170
The AirTAC SC80X170 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder that generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks. Its 170 mm stroke is paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) to decelerate the load smoothly at end-of-travel.
This model features a tie-rod construction with a body length (A) of 182 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 352 mm. The standard PT3/8 ports and TPU seals provide reliable operation in temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, suitable for general industrial environments.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170 Is Used
Material Handling
Provides the 2513 N push force needed to divert or stop medium-weight packages on conveyor lines, with the 170 mm stroke offering sufficient reach for standard lane widths.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or assembly, where the adjustable cushion prevents impact damage to the fixture.
Gate & Valve Actuation
The 170 mm stroke and 25 mm rod diameter are well-suited for opening and closing slide gates or actuating quarter-turn valves in processing plants, using filtered air at standard shop pressure.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170 the Right Cylinder?
The SC80X170 sits between the SC63 (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC100 (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your application requires higher force or a larger rod diameter, stepping up to the SC100 is recommended; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 may suffice. For strokes of 300 mm or more, consider an external guide to protect the rod from side-load bending.
When replacing this cylinder, ensure an exact match across five key points: 80 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic (no) mounting accessory, and no built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC80X170 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
This specific model code (SC80X170) does not include the built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, you would need to order the variant with the -S suffix (SC80X170S). Without the magnet, standard reed or solid-state sensors cannot detect the piston position.
