About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180CA
The SC80X180CA is an 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This configuration includes a rear single clevis (CA) mount, part F-SC80CA, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The total extended body length is approximately 362 mm, with an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180CA Is Used
Agricultural Equipment
Operates chute diverters and hopper gates on harvesters and spreaders. The rear clevis mount handles the pivoting motion required for these directional controls.
Machine Tool Clamping
Provides the 2513 N clamping force for workholding fixtures on CNC mills. The 25 mm rod diameter offers rigidity against bending under direct axial loads.
Conveyor Line Diverters
Pivots a diverter arm to sort packages on a high-speed line. The 28 mm adjustable cushion absorbs impact energy, reducing noise and mechanical shock at the stroke ends.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 for applications needing around 2500 N of force; if your load is lighter, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa in a smaller footprint. For heavier demands, the 100 mm bore steps up to 3927 N. The 180 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring standard lead times.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: the 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, rear CA clevis mounting, and the standard non-magnetic piston. This model does not include a built-in magnet, so magnetic sensors cannot be directly mounted on the barrel.
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 SC80X180CA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 3518 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for the area lost to the 25 mm piston rod.
No, this specific model code (SC80X180CA) does not include the '-S' magnet option. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, you would need the SC80X180CAS variant, which has a built-in magnetic piston ring.
