The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X253SN is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 253mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X253SN is an 80 mm bore, 253 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 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod. The 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The NBR seal (-N suffix) provides reliable sealing for standard industrial air, and the PT1/4 port threads connect to common pneumatic fittings. With a body length of 182 mm, the total extended length is approximately 435 mm.

The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily moves boxes or pallets on a conveyor line, and the built-in magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection for automated sorting.
Delivers a strong, consistent clamping force for CNC machining or welding jigs. The NBR seals are well-suited for oily shop air environments.
With 2268 N of pull force, this cylinder can control a tilt chute or a simple lift-assist arm. The adjustable cushion protects the mechanism from hard stops.
For applications needing slightly less force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If more force is required, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N at the same pressure. Always match bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting, and magnet option when replacing an existing cylinder.
At a 253 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is robust for most axial loads. However, if the application involves any significant side loading, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
Yes. The '-S' in the model code indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots for reliable position feedback.
