About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250CA
The SC80X250CA is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 250 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping and material-transfer tasks where the cylinder body must pivot during actuation.
This model features a rear single clevis mount (CA, part F-SC80CA) for pivoting attachment. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the PT3/8 ports ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250CA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa securely holds workpieces in machining and welding jigs, with the rear clevis allowing the cylinder to self-align as the clamp engages.
Agricultural Machinery
Operates chute gates and diverter flaps on harvesters and conveyors, where the pivoting CA mount accommodates the arc of the linkage motion.
Conveyor Diverters
Pushes packages or product off a main conveyor line onto a spur. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 250 mm stroke, protecting the cylinder and product.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250CA the Right Cylinder?
For higher force, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, faster option, the SC63 bore provides 1559 N. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. When replacing, match bore (80), stroke (250), PT port thread, rear clevis mount (CA), and confirm no magnet is needed.
At 250 mm stroke, the rod is adequately supported for axial loads, but any side loading requires an external linear guide to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
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 SC80X250CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (≈73 psi) the push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N.
It is a direct replacement for an AirTAC SC80X250CA or another tie-rod cylinder matching bore (80 mm), stroke (250 mm), PT3/8 ports, rear single clevis mount (CA), and no magnet. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
