About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X460
The AirTAC SC80X460 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 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 and a 460 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 pneumatic ports, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This cylinder's 460 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore, ensuring standard production lead times. The body length is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 642 mm. An adjustable air cushion, with a 28 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston at both ends of the stroke to reduce end-cap impact and noise, prolonging service life in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X460 Is Used
Material Transfer Systems
The 460 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for powered roller conveyor diverters and lift-and-transfer stations, reliably shuttling heavy totes between lines.
Heavy Part Clamping
Use the SC80X460 for high-force clamping of large weldments or castings in machining fixtures. The adjustable cushion prevents vibration-induced part shift during rapid clamp actuation.
Palletizing Pushers
Deploy this cylinder as a layer-forming pusher arm in palletizing cells. Its 25 mm rod and 4523 N max force handle the inertial loads of sliding full cases onto a pallet stack.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X460 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). If your load demands more power, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure. With a 460 mm stroke, the piston rod has significant unsupported extension; to prevent rod bearing damage from side loads, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder for any off-axis force.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key specifications: the 80 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, your required mounting accessory (this is a basic body, order F-SC80LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC separately), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod type, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those cylinders.
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 SC80X460 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 SC80X460 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or the load will drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
