About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250SN
The SC80X250SN is an 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, offering reliable performance within the standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration, while the PT3/8 port threads provide standard pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250SN Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
Provides the 2513 N push force needed to divert packages, actuate gates, or position products on conveyor lines with a 250 mm travel.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers consistent clamping force for welding jigs, assembly presses, and holding fixtures, with an adjustable cushion to reduce cycle impact.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates chutes, hopper doors, and sorting mechanisms on farm machinery, with NBR seals providing good resistance to oils and greases.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a higher force is needed, the 100 mm bore SC100 series delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. Always size the cylinder based on the required force at your specific operating pressure, not the theoretical maximum.
This 250 mm stroke model uses a basic mount with no included brackets. When replacing this cylinder, match the 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, and NBR seal material to ensure identical fit and performance. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide to protect the rod from bending under side loads.
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 SC80X250SN 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No, this specific model code (SC80X250SN) does not include the '-S' magnet option. The piston does not have a built-in magnetic ring, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors cannot be used. You would need to order the SC80X250S variant for sensor compatibility.
