About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1980
The AirTAC SC80X1980 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with an 80 mm bore and an extended 1980 mm stroke, built for applications requiring a long linear reach. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure it generates 2513 N of push force, and at the maximum 0.9 MPa it reaches 4523 N, providing substantial thrust for heavy payloads over this distance.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 ports. The total extended body length is approximately 2162 mm (182 mm body length A plus the 1980 mm stroke). Because the stroke exceeds the 1500 mm maximum standard length for an 80 mm bore, this is a non-standard made-to-order configuration. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end, with a 28 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1980 Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy bins, pallets, or components across a 1980 mm span on a transfer line, using its 2513 N force to move loads smoothly at the standard 0.5 MPa factory air pressure.
Automated Welding Positioner
Extends a welding torch or fixture over a precise 1980 mm path. The adjustable air cushion protects the assembly from vibration at stroke end, while the 25 mm rod provides rigidity for the long reach.
Vertical Lift Gate Actuator
Operates a tall vertical lift gate or hopper door requiring a 1980 mm travel. The double-acting design provides powered extension and retraction, with 4523 N of peak force at 0.9 MPa to handle heavy doors.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1980 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80X1980 when your application needs a long 1980 mm stroke with 2513 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load requires more force, consider stepping up to the SC100 bore which delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 bore provides 1559 N. For strokes of this length, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads—always use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearings and seals.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 80 mm bore, the 1980 mm stroke, the PT3/8 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a direct interchange for that standard.
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 SC80X1980 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80 cylinder produces 3518 N of push force on extension and 2268 N of pull force on retraction. The pull force is lower because the piston rod reduces the effective area on the rod side.
A 1980 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod is vulnerable to buckling under compressive load and bending under side load. You must guide the load externally with a linear rail or rodless actuator. Never allow the cylinder rod to bear the full side load directly; use a floating rod coupler to isolate the cylinder from any misalignment.
