The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X1980 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1980mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
