About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180FA
The SC80X180FA is an 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion handle mid-range linear tasks with smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This configuration includes an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC80FA) for rigid panel or bulkhead mounting. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length A to 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 362 mm. Ports are PT3/8 with an M20x1.5 rod thread, and the standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180FA Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
2513 N at 0.5 MPa provides ample force for pneumatic toggle clamps, light assembly presses, and holding fixtures on 80 mm bore tooling stations.
Part Transfer & Rejection
180 mm stroke with front flange mounting suits conveyor diverters and reject gates, where the cylinder body mounts rigidly to the machine frame.
Bulkhead Actuation
FA flange allows the cylinder to be bolted directly through a panel or machine wall, ideal for compact machine designs where rear access is restricted.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when the SC63's 1559 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal—this 80 mm bore provides a 61% force increase. If your load is lighter and speed is critical, stepping down to the SC63 saves air consumption. For strokes of 180 mm, the standard rod bearing is adequate for purely axial loads; any side force requires an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, FA front flange mounting (F-SC80FA), and confirm no magnet sensor is needed. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC80 tie-rod units.
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 SC80X180FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum 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. It will not drop into ISO 15552 mounting footprints. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT3/8 ports, and FA front flange.
