About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X230TC
The SC80X230TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 230 mm stroke is paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) to decelerate end-of-travel loads smoothly.
This model is factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied together with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC80TC), making it ready to pivot for swinging or articulating machine sections. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 412 mm. Standard PT1/8 ports and TPU seals with a -20 to +70 °C operating range complete the build.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X230TC Is Used
Part Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating diverter flaps on conveyor lines handling packages or medium-weight components.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivers 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa. The pivoting TC mount lets the cylinder swing clear for part loading and unloading in automated welding or assembly jigs.
Hopper & Chute Actuation
Used to open and close discharge gates on hoppers and chutes. The trunnion mount absorbs the arc motion of the gate linkage, while the 25 mm rod handles repetitive material-handling cycles.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X230TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, more compact solution is acceptable, the 63 mm bore SC63 delivers 1559 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders across five key points: bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory (TC centre trunnion), and magnet option (none on this model).
At a 230 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported for axial loads, but any significant side force requires an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and piston seals from premature wear and bending.
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 SC80X230TC FAQ
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 SC80X230TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position or a suspended load if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load-holding safety, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
