About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260TC
The SC80X260TC is an 80 mm bore, 260 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. At 0.5 MPa it produces 2513 N of push force and 2268 N on the pull stroke, while at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the extending thrust reaches 4523 N. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration for this mid-stroke configuration.
This model is factory-configured with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied together with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (part code F-SC80TC). The trunnion allows the cylinder body to pivot, making it ideal for swinging or articulating loads. With a body length A of 182 mm, the total extended length is approximately 442 mm, and ports are PT3/8 with an M20x1.5 rod thread.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260TC Is Used
Part Diverter Gates
The pivoting action of the TC trunnion mount makes this cylinder a direct fit for conveyor diverter gates, where the 4523 N maximum thrust reliably pushes products onto a secondary lane.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivering over 2.5 kN of force at standard line pressure, the SC80X260TC powers heavy-duty clamps and weld fixtures, with the trunnion allowing the cylinder to swing clear for part loading.
Agricultural Implement Actuation
The robust tie-rod construction and centre pivot mount suit the dusty, high-cycle demands of agricultural machinery, such as controlling chute doors or auger swing arms.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X260TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of push force. If you require a more compact actuator with lower force, step down to the SC63 bore, which provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. Always match five key points when replacing an existing cylinder: bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory (TC centre trunnion), and magnet option (none on this model).
At a 260 mm stroke, side-load forces on the 25 mm rod are manageable for most inline applications, but any significant off-axis loading will create a bending moment on the rod bearing. For applications with unavoidable side loads, add an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder to protect the rod and seals from premature wear.
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 SC80X260TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT3/8 ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
