The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X250TC 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 AirTAC SC80X250TC pneumatic cylinder combines an 80 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke, producing a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm air cushion at each end provide robust deceleration, making it well-suited for medium-heavy linear handling tasks.
This model is factory-configured with the TC centre trunnion mount, which includes the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The body length A is 182 mm, and with the 250 mm stroke, the total extended length reaches approximately 432 mm. It uses the standard PT1/4 port and TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C range.

The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy-duty diverters and gates on packaging and material handling conveyors.
Delivers controlled, repeatable force for pneumatic clamps and welding fixtures, with the TC mount allowing the cylinder to swing clear for part loading.
Operates chute controls and hopper doors on farming equipment, where the centre trunnion pivot accommodates the arcing motion of the linkage.
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N of push at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If space is a constraint and less force is acceptable, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure an exact match on all five key points: 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting accessory, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 3518 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes, the TC code indicates the cylinder is supplied with the TCM1 centre trunnion bracket set. The mounting accessory part code for the complete assembly is F-SC80TC, which includes the trunnion pins and brackets needed for a pivoting installation.
