About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X242.5S
The SC80X242.5S is an 80 mm bore, 242.5 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family. It generates a substantial 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and can reach 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder uses adjustable pneumatic cushioning with a 28 mm cushion length and PT1/8 ports, and operates on filtered air within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range using its standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X242.5S Is Used
Material Handling Pusher
The 242.5 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa efficiently push medium-weight boxes or totes off a conveyor line, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation.
Clamping & Assembly Fixture
Delivers a controlled 4523 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding or assembly, with sensors verifying the clamp is fully engaged.
Bin Tipping Station
Pivots a container to a 242.5 mm dump height. The magnet-equipped barrel simplifies sensor setup for mid-stroke or end-stroke detection in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X242.5S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is required, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series offers 3927 N at the same pressure. This 242.5 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a precise match across five points: 80 mm bore, 242.5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic mounting style. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the 25 mm rod from side-load bending moments.
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 SC80X242.5S 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 increases to 4523 N.
The -S suffix indicates a magnetized piston. This allows you to mount AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without external brackets.
