The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X227 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 227mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X227 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 227 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it produces 2513 N of push force and 2268 N on the pull stroke, scaling to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 ports. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 409 mm. It features an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.

The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy diverter gates on packaging and sortation conveyors, with the 227 mm stroke providing ample travel for wide chutes.
Delivers up to 4523 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowels into machined housings in a controlled, repeatable 227 mm linear motion.
The robust 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction handle the impact of stopping heavy pallets on gravity roller conveyors, lifting a stop blade through the full 227 mm stroke.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter overall length is critical, the 63 mm bore SC63 delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. The 227 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 227 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. Because the 25 mm rod extends over 200 mm, avoid direct side loading; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X227 is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop under load. For position holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
