About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240TC
The AirTAC SC80X240TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 240 mm stroke is paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion, providing smooth deceleration for mid-range linear moves.
This model comes factory-equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount (includes TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC80TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The standard PT1/8 port threads and TPU seals suit general industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot as it actuates a diverter gate, while 2513 N of force reliably shifts packages or materials on a conveyor line.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Pivoting action from the TC mount and 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa make this cylinder suitable for holding parts in welding or assembly jigs.
Agricultural Machinery Linkages
The robust 25 mm rod and trunnion pivot handle the oscillating motion and dusty conditions typical of balers, tillers, and other farm equipment linkages.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X240TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs roughly 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, stepping down to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure.
This 240 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 80 mm bore. For any stroke over 300 mm, evaluate side-load and rod-bearing bending—long, unsupported rods are vulnerable to buckling under lateral force. When replacing, match five points: 80 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the standard non-magnetic piston.
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 SC80X240TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 5026 N. Always size the cylinder based on your available air pressure and a suitable safety factor.
Only if your machine is designed for a pivoting cylinder. The TC centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, which changes the load path. For a direct replacement of a fixed linear application, you would need an SC80 with an LB foot mount or a basic body. The mounting style is a critical part of the replacement match.
