About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180STC
The AirTAC SC80X180STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a 180 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion length of 28 mm to decelerate end-of-stroke impacts.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel, and a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC80TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot for swinging loads. The standard PT port thread is 3/8 inch, and the rod thread is M20x1.5.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180STC Is Used
Part Sorting & Diverting
The 180 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot and push items off a conveyor line, with sensor confirmation of each cycle via the built-in magnet.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivers a strong 2513 N clamping force at standard line pressure, holding workpieces securely in automated welding or assembly jigs where a pivoting action is needed.
Chute & Gate Actuation
Ideal for opening and closing material flow gates on hoppers or chutes. The trunnion mount absorbs the arc of motion, while the magnetic piston confirms gate position.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X180STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when your application requires a force between the SC63 (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC100 (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa). For strokes over 300 mm, evaluate side-load conditions; an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension can be vulnerable to bending, and an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This SC model is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC80X180STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X180STC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
