About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X173S
The AirTAC SC80X173S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This 80 mm bore model features a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state and reed sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. The 173 mm stroke sits well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X173S Is Used
Material Handling
Pushes boxes or tote bins on a packaging line, using the 2513 N force at standard shop air pressure.
Clamping & Fixturing
Holds parts in a CNC fixture with consistent force, with sensors confirming the clamp position.
Press Assembly
Provides the pressing action in a small assembly press, cycling reliably at 30-800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X173S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 63 mm bore SC series provides 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If higher thrust is needed, stepping up to the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N at the same pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a match across five points: 80 mm bore, 173 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the integrated magnet option. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the rod from side-load bending.
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 SC80X173S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) it pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet. You can clip AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position.
