The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250SFB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X250SFB is an 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet and a rear rectangular flange (FB). It delivers a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and can reach 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a strong mid-bore actuator for industrial linear motion.
The cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. Its body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 432 mm. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends, protecting end caps and reducing impact noise in high-cycle applications.

The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily diverts cartons or tote bins on powered roller conveyors. The rear flange mount (FB) bolts directly to the conveyor frame end plate, providing rigid alignment for repetitive pushing.
With 4523 N of clamping force available at 0.9 MPa and magnetic piston sensing, this cylinder confirms clamp engagement in automated welding or machining fixtures. The adjustable cushion prevents impact shock on delicate workpieces.
The SC80X250SFB operates slide gates on silos or hoppers. The built-in magnet allows remote gate position feedback, while the tie-rod construction withstands dusty environments with proper air filtration.
Select the SC80 when the 50 mm bore's 982 N push force (at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient, but a full 100 mm bore (3927 N) is oversized for the load. This 250 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 80 mm bore (max 1500 mm). For strokes above 300 mm with this 25 mm rod, evaluate side-load conditions; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear FB flange mounting (F-SC80FB), and the built-in magnet (-S suffix) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor compatibility. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC80X250SFB indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without external brackets.
