About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240S
The SC80X240S is an 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It produces a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing barrel-mounted CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to detect piston position without external brackets. The cylinder uses PT3/8 ports, NBR/TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C range, and an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the 240 mm stroke smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240S Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa and sensor-ready magnet make this cylinder ideal for diverting packages or actuating gates on conveyor lines, where mid-stroke position confirmation is required.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers a controlled 240 mm stroke with adjustable cushioning for pressing or clamping operations. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to sequence automated assembly steps reliably.
Farm Implement Actuation
With 4523 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can handle heavy actuation tasks on agricultural equipment like chute controls or bale handling, with sensor feedback for operator safety interlocks.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when the SC63’s 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for the load. If the application requires more force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. For this 240 mm stroke, the tie-rod construction offers good rigidity, but any side loading should be managed with an external guide to protect the rod bearing.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, no mounting accessory (basic), and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC80 models.
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 SC80X240S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 4523 N. These values are based on the 80 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC80X240S indicates a built-in magnet is installed. This allows you to directly mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the cylinder barrel's sensor groove to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
