About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480S
The SC80X480S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 480 mm stroke. It generates 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes the factory-installed -S magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder features an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, with PT1/8 port threads and an M20x1.5 rod thread. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 662 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480S Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 480 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa suit medium-duty diverters and gates on conveyor lines, where the built-in magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Press-to-Stop Clamping
Delivers a controlled 4523 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for workpiece holding in machining fixtures, with sensor feedback from the -S magnet ensuring the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts.
Palletising Pushers
Used in palletising stations to push boxes or trays across a 480 mm span. The adjustable cushion protects the cylinder and load from impact damage at the end of the stroke during high-cycle operation.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480S the Right Cylinder?
The SC80 bore sits between the SC63 (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC100 (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your load requires more force than the SC80 delivers at your available pressure, stepping up to the SC100 provides a significant thrust increase; if space or weight is a constraint and the force is sufficient, the SC63 is a more compact alternative. For this 480 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to side loading—long, unsupported strokes on a 25 mm rod can experience bending moments. Use an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders; it is shorter in overall length.
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 SC80X480S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force rises to 3518 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC80X480S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, or EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be fitted directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without additional brackets.
