About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480
The AirTAC SC80X480 is a double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion make it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks requiring a 480 mm working stroke.
With a compact body length A of 182 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 662 mm. The cylinder operates on filtered air (40 µm) from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and uses standard PT3/8 ports. This model ships with TPU seals for a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and does not include a built-in magnet or mounting accessories, giving you a clean base unit to configure.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 480 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably raise or stop heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the 28 mm cushion absorbing impact at end-of-stroke.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 4523 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings. The tie-rod construction handles repetitive impact loads in fixture-based assembly cells.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
Ideal for ejecting compacted material in recycling balers. The 80 mm bore provides the sustained push force needed to slide dense bales off a platen over a 480 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X480 when your application needs around 2500 N of force at standard shop air. If your load is lighter and you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space. For heavier demands, the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure.
At a 480 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Always guide the load externally or use a guided cylinder if off-axis forces are present. For a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. Only another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder will share the same compact body length A of 182 mm.
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 SC80X480 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2513 N, and at 0.7 MPa it rises to 3518 N. The maximum operating thrust at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf, but the recommended operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. It only directly replaces another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT3/8 ports, and basic mounting.
