About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240CB
The SC80X240CB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a 240 mm stroke, this model is built on a robust tie-rod construction that is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder, making it a space-efficient choice for industrial automation.
This configuration includes a rear double clevis (CB) mounting, part F-SC80CB, which allows the cylinder body to pivot during operation, ideal for articulated linkages. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration, while the PT3/8 port and M20x1.5 rod thread provide standard connectivity.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240CB Is Used
Agricultural Machinery
The pivoting CB mount and 2513 N force suit the articulation of booms, chutes, or gate controls on harvesters and sprayers, where the cylinder must swing through an arc.
Conveyor Diverters
Use the 240 mm stroke to push diverters or gates in material handling lines. The double clevis mount handles the angular misalignment common in pivoting arm mechanisms.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
The adjustable cushion decelerates the 25 mm rod smoothly, preventing vibration in clamping operations. The rear clevis allows the cylinder to self-align in heavy-duty welding jigs.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240CB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N (SC80) and 1559 N (SC63) of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load exceeds 2513 N, consider stepping up to the SC100 bore, which provides 3927 N at the same pressure. For strokes of 240 mm, side-loading is a key consideration; ensure the load is guided externally or use a guided cylinder if the rod will experience lateral forces.
To replace an existing cylinder, match these five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, CB rear double clevis mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with another AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC80X240CB 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.
The SC80X240CB is factory-configured with the CB rear double clevis (F-SC80CB). You can order a different mounting accessory like an FA front flange or LB foot mount separately, but the cylinder code itself specifies the clevis. For a direct replacement, match the CB mount code.
