The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X230TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 230mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
