About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SH
The SC80X180SH is an 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force, placing it in a robust mid-range power class suitable for pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration, while the body length of 182 mm keeps the package compact.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (suffix S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C for use in hot environments like autoclaves, foundries, or engine test cells where standard TPU seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SH Is Used
Hot-Zone Actuation
The Viton seals withstand 0 to 150 °C, making this cylinder ideal for actuating dampers, diverters, or clamps inside autoclaves, curing ovens, and sterilisation equipment.
Sensor-Monitored Sorting
The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm extend and retract positions, perfect for high-speed sorting gates and diverter arms on packaging conveyors.
Heavy Pressing & Clamping
Delivering 4523 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides the controlled clamping power needed for edge-banding machines, assembly presses, and welding fixtures.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of push force at standard plant pressures. If you require less force, stepping down to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa in a lighter body. For higher force, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. This 180 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five points: bore (80 mm), stroke (180 mm), port thread (PT 3/8), mounting style (basic, no accessory bracket), and the magnet option (-S). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. For long-stroke applications, be mindful of side loads on the 25 mm rod; an external guide or guided cylinder may be necessary to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SC80X180SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80 bore generates 3518 N of pushing force and 3175 N of pulling force. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 4523 N.
No. The SC80X180SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke to reduce impact; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
