About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170S
The AirTAC SC80X170S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, fitted with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It delivers a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a strong mid-range actuator for automated equipment.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 port connections. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 28 mm long, and the total body length A measures 182 mm. Operating temperature with the standard TPU seals is -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170S Is Used
Conveyor Sorting Gates
The 170 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages on high-speed sortation lines, with magnetic sensors confirming gate position at each cycle.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers a firm 2513 N clamping force at standard line pressure. Magnetic piston sensing allows the control system to verify the part is securely clamped before machining begins.
Palletising Pushers
Use the SC80X170S to push boxes onto a pallet layer. The integrated magnet lets you mount CMSG sensors externally to detect end-of-stroke without adding bulky external flags.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore for applications needing 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. For lower force requirements, the SC63 bore offers 1559 N. The 170 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and your required mounting accessory. 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 SC80X170S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position.
