About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240
The SC80X240 is an 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force, making it a capable mid-range actuator for general industrial automation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration without external shock absorbers.
This cylinder’s body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 422 mm. It uses PT3/8 ports and an M20x1.5 rod thread. The standard TPU seals and NBR O-rings suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. As a tie-rod design, the SC80X240 is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons off a main conveyor line onto a spur. The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa handles medium-weight packages reliably, and the 240 mm stroke provides ample reach across standard belt widths.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies holding force to a workpiece during machining or welding. The adjustable cushion prevents impact vibration that could disturb part alignment, and the tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance in harsh environments.
Bin Tipping
Actuates a small bin or hopper tipper. The 2268 N pull force retracts the bin after dumping, while the 28 mm cushion absorbs the shock of the empty bin returning to its home position.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X240 when your application needs around 2500 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you require more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore (SC100 series) provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter, more compact solution, the 63 mm bore delivers 1559 N at the same pressure.
For this 240 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal. Long unsupported strokes on a single-rod cylinder can create high bending moments on the rod bearing. Use an external guide rail or rod alignment coupler if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet.
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 SC80X240 FAQ
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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace with another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder matching the 240 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, and basic mounting configuration.
