About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X243
The AirTAC SC80X243 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a 243 mm stroke, this tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 port threads, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model includes a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The total extended body length is approximately 425 mm (182 mm body length A + 243 mm stroke). As a genuine AirTAC component, it is built for reliable service with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s and an operating pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X243 Is Used
Material Forming Press
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for clamping and light forming operations in a pneumatic press, providing consistent pressure over the 243 mm stroke.
Product Sorting Gate
Use the SC80X243 to actuate a diverter gate on a conveyor line. Its adjustable cushioning handles the repetitive impact of stopping the gate at speed.
Pallet Layer Alignment
Deploy this cylinder in a palletizing cell to align layers of boxes. The 80 mm bore offers the force needed to square up heavy loads before wrapping.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X243 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80X243 for applications needing the force of an 80 mm bore within a 243 mm linear envelope. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce cost and space. For higher force, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. A 5-point match ensures a correct replacement: verify bore (80 mm), stroke (243 mm), PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet sensor option.
For this 243 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal. Although within standard limits, an unsupported 25 mm rod extending over 200 mm can be vulnerable to bending under side load. Use external guides or a guided cylinder if off-axis forces are present.
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 SC80X243 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 theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching 80 mm bore, 243 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, and basic mounting.
