About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240STC
The SC80X240STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N push force and 2268 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and 240 mm stroke, its 25 mm diameter piston rod provides robust linear thrust for medium-duty industrial tasks. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC80TC), enabling the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, absorbing energy over a 28 mm cushion length to reduce impact noise and vibration.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, making it suitable for actuating flipper gates or diverters on packaging and sortation conveyors.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivers 2513 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet enables sensor confirmation of clamp position, ensuring safe cycle starts in automated welding or assembly cells.
Hopper & Chute Actuation
The pivoting TC mount handles the arcing motion needed to open and close discharge chutes or hopper doors on agricultural and bulk-material handling equipment.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series, which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, more compact solution is acceptable, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. This 240 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 80 mm bore (max 1500 mm). For a direct replacement, match the bore (80 mm), stroke (240 mm), PT port thread, centre trunnion mount (TC), and the built-in magnet (-S). Always confirm the F-SC80TC trunnion bracket dimensions to ensure fitment.
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 SC80X240STC 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. 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, so dimensions are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, centre trunnion mount, and magnet.
