About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SCA
The AirTAC SC80X180SCA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With an 80 mm bore and a 180 mm stroke, it is built for robust linear actuation where a pivoting rear mount is required.
This model features a built-in magnet (suffix -S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a rear single clevis mount (suffix -CA, accessory F-SC80CA) that allows the cylinder body to pivot. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/8 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SCA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamping systems in machining centers, where the rear clevis mount allows it to swing into position.
Part Diverter Gates
With its pivoting CA mount and sensor-ready magnet, this cylinder accurately actuates diverter gates on conveyor lines, providing position feedback to the PLC for sorting operations.
Agricultural Machinery
The durable tie-rod construction and 28 mm air cushion handle the demanding cycles of agricultural equipment, such as actuating chutes or hopper doors on harvesters.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when your application requires a push force around 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure.
For a 180 mm stroke, side loading is a key consideration. Ensure the load is guided externally and aligned axially with the rod to prevent bending moments on the 25 mm rod and rod bearing. When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five critical points: 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
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 SC80X180SCA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518 N and the pull force is 2268 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N. These values are based on the 80 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
This is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with a 180 mm stroke, PT ports, rear single clevis (CA) mount, and a built-in magnet. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Verify your existing mounting accessory matches the F-SC80CA clevis.
