The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X220CA is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 220mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X220CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 80 mm bore and 220 mm stroke suit medium-duty linear tasks where a rear pivot mount is required.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration. The CA suffix designates a rear single clevis mount (accessory F-SC80CA), allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. Ports are PT3/8, and the standard TPU seals operate reliably from -20 to +70 °C.

The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for actuating chutes, gates, or lift arms on harvesters and spreaders where the load path changes angle.
With 2513 N of clamping force at standard line pressure, this cylinder secures workpieces in CNC fixtures or welding jigs, with the adjustable cushion preventing part damage from hard stops.
Used on conveyor systems to sort or divert packages. The 220 mm stroke provides sufficient travel to fully extend a gate, and the clevis mount absorbs the pivoting motion.
For a step up in force, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; to step down, the SC63 bore provides 1559 N. The 220 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no special stroke considerations apply.
When replacing this cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the CA rear single clevis mounting accessory, and the absence of a magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC80 models with the same configuration.
Quick checklist
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 SC80X220CA is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
