About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X280STC
The SC80X280STC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 280 mm stroke suits medium-reach applications, and the built-in magnet enables direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This model is factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion, it decelerates loads smoothly, extending the service life of the cylinder and the machine.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X280STC Is Used
Part Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for actuating diverter gates on conveyor systems where the 280 mm stroke provides ample reach for redirecting packages or materials.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
With 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa and magnetic piston sensing for cycle confirmation, this cylinder is a dependable choice for pneumatic clamping in welding or assembly fixtures.
Pivoting Machine Guards
The TC mount's ability to absorb angular misalignment makes this cylinder suitable for opening and closing pivoting safety guards or access panels on industrial machinery.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X280STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of pneumatic force; if you need less, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, and for more force the 100 mm bore offers 3927 N. This 280 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
For this specific SC80X280STC, a direct replacement must match five points: 80 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC80TC bracket, and a built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. For strokes over 300 mm, 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 SC80X280STC FAQ
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 increases to 4523 N.
The 'S' indicates a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel. 'TC' specifies a centre trunnion mounting style, which includes the TCM1 bracket (order code F-SC80TC) and allows the cylinder body to pivot.
