About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260
The SC80X260 is an 80 mm bore, 260 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
With a body length A of 182 mm, the total extended length is approximately 442 mm, fitting installations where a compact tie-rod design is preferred. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder uses a PT3/8 port and standard TPU seals for reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260 Is Used
Package Sorting Gate
Actuates diverter gates on conveyor lines, using the 260 mm stroke to redirect parcels between lanes with the 2513 N force at standard plant air pressure.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent clamping force for wood or metal workpieces in CNC fixtures, where the adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact at the end of the 260 mm travel.
Pallet Stop & Lift
Raises or stops pallets on gravity roller conveyors, leveraging the 25 mm rod's rigidity over this stroke length for reliable material handling.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when the SC63's 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for the load. If the application demands higher force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. For this 260 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; if lateral forces are present, add an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body, order mounts like FA, FB, CA, CB, LB, or TC separately using the F-SC80 prefix), and confirm whether a magnet is needed (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC80X260 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
This specific model code SC80X260 does not include the -S magnet option, so the piston does not have a magnetic ring. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, order SC80X260-S instead. The standard model can still be used with external limit switches mounted separately.
