About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SFA
The AirTAC SC80X180SFA is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). With an 80 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, the total extended body length is approximately 362 mm, making it a compact yet powerful actuator for medium-duty linear tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC80FA) allows rigid panel mounting on the rod side. It uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread and PT1/4 ports, operating with an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SFA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa and front flange mount make this cylinder ideal for secure workpiece clamping in CNC machining centres and welding jigs, where rigid, repeatable holding force is critical.
Material Stops & Gates
Use the SC80X180SFA to actuate heavy-duty stops or diverter gates on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet allows sensors to confirm the gate is fully open or closed, integrating seamlessly with automated sortation controls.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivering up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can drive simple press-fit operations for bearings or bushings. The adjustable cushion protects tooling and parts from impact damage at the end of the stroke.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SFA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when your application needs around 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more force, the SC100 bore steps up to 3927 N; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 provides 1559 N. For this 180 mm stroke, the standard 25 mm rod handles axial loads well, but any significant side load requires an external guide to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the FA front flange mounting accessory, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC80 of the same configuration.
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 SC80X180SFA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. 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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a direct replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port thread, and FA front flange mount.
