About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170TC
The AirTAC SC80X170TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 170 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model is factory-equipped with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, providing a mid-body pivot point ideal for applications where the cylinder body must swing through an arc.
The SC series uses a durable tie-rod construction with an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length on this bore) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The TC suffix indicates the cylinder ships complete with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC80TC), allowing direct installation into a pivoting structure. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with a standard PT1/8 port.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the SC80X170TC to pivot freely, making it suitable for actuating diverter gates on packaging and sortation conveyors where the cylinder body must swing as the gate opens and closes.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
With 4523 N of clamping force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides secure part holding in machining centres and robotic welding cells. The trunnion mount simplifies integration into pivoting clamp arms.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Deployed on harvesters or sprayer booms, the pivoting TC mount accommodates the angular movement of linkage mechanisms. The 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction withstand demanding outdoor duty cycles when properly lubricated.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X170TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application requires between 2513 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 4523 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa in a lighter, more compact body. For higher forces, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
For this 170 mm stroke, the rod bearing and piston guide rings provide adequate support for purely axial loads. However, if the cylinder experiences any side loading—even from a misaligned clevis or a shifting payload—add an external linear guide rail to protect the rod bearing and prevent premature seal wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five critical points: 80 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and confirm whether a magnet (-S suffix) is required for sensors.
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 SC80X170TC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore cylinder produces 2513 N extending (push) and 2268 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It can only directly replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with an 80 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT ports, and a centre trunnion (TC) mount.
