The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X385 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 385mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X385 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 385 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 2513 N of push force, rising to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, making it a capable mid-range actuator for industrial linear motion.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. The body length A is 182 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 567 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end (28 mm long) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact without any mechanical locking function.

The 385 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shift medium-weight cartons or totes across a conveyor junction, with the adjustable cushion absorbing impact at full extension.
Generating over 4500 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder inserts bearings or bushings into housings. The tie-rod construction handles repetitive impact loads better than profile cylinders.
In palletising cells, the 385 mm reach positions slip sheets or pushes completed layers onto a pallet. The 25 mm rod provides stiffness for the extended stroke when side loads are controlled.
For applications needing slightly less force, the 63 mm bore SC63 series provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; when higher force is required, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. This 385 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
At a 385 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is extended significantly. If the load applies any side force, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending stress. To replace an existing SC80X385, match five points: 80 mm bore, 385 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, basic mounting (no bracket), and the standard TPU seal with no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf, but the maximum rated operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a body length shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT ports, and basic mounting.
