About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X285
The SC80X285 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore, 25 mm piston rod, and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion, it provides smooth deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This 285 mm stroke model has a compact body length of 182 mm, resulting in an extended length of approximately 467 mm. It features PT3/8 pneumatic ports and an M20x1.5 rod thread, making it a robust workhorse for genuine AirTAC automation builds.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X285 Is Used
Package Sorting Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily diverts medium-weight parcels on conveyor lines, with the 285 mm stroke providing ample reach across wide belt sections.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies consistent, high-force clamping for woodworking or metal fabrication jigs. The adjustable cushioning prevents part damage by softening the clamp impact.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates chutes, hopper doors, or press rollers in dusty farm machinery. The tie-rod construction is serviceable and the TPU seals handle standard temperature ranges.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X285 the Right Cylinder?
For higher force, step up to the SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). If space is limited and less force is acceptable, the SC63 provides 1559 N. With a 285 mm stroke, this cylinder's rod is well-supported, but always avoid direct side loading. For any stroke over 300 mm, use an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 285 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic model with no brackets), and the magnet option (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 SC80X285 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.
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. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
