About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X30
The SC80X30 is a compact-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion are sized for high-cycle clamping and ejector duties where a short, powerful linear movement is needed.
With a body length A of just 182 mm, this 30 mm stroke unit fits into tight machine envelopes. The tie-rod construction simplifies maintenance, and the standard TPU seals provide reliable service from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X30 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
The 30 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa make the SC80X30 ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining and welding cells.
Part Ejection
Use this cylinder for ejecting parts from injection molds or stamping dies where a powerful, brief push is required.
Diverter Gates
Actuate short-throw diverter gates on conveyor systems with the SC80X30's rapid 30-800 mm/s speed range and high force.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X30 the Right Cylinder?
For a shorter 30 mm stroke, the SC80 bore sits between the smaller SC63 (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) and the larger SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). Step up to the SC100 if your application demands over 2500 N of force, or down to the SC63 for a lighter, more compact actuator. The 25 mm rod is robust, but always align the load axially to prevent side-load damage to the rod bearing.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This model uses the standard PT thread; if your manifold uses G (BSP parallel) threads, specify the -G suffix.
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 SC80X30 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC80X30 generates 3518 N of push force and 3175 N of pull force on the retract stroke.
This standard SC80X30 model does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for piston position detection, order the SC80X30-S variant, which adds a magnetic ring to the piston.
