About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480TC
The AirTAC SC80X480TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 480 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N of push force and 2268 N on the pull stroke, making it a capable mid-range actuator for swinging or tilting mechanisms.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 ports. The tie-rod construction incorporates a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The total extended body length is approximately 662 mm (182 mm body length A plus the 480 mm stroke).

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount lets the SC80X480TC pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating diverter gates on packaging or sorting conveyors where a 480 mm stroke redirects product flow.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Delivers 2513 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa for holding weldments in a fixture. The trunnion allows the cylinder body to swing clear during part loading and unloading.
Hopper or Chute Actuation
Used to open and close discharge gates on bulk material hoppers. The 480 mm stroke provides ample travel, and the trunnion mount absorbs the arc motion of a pivoting chute door.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X480TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when the SC63’s 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa is marginal for your load. If your application needs more than 2513 N, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. For this 480 mm stroke, confirm that side loads are minimal or use an external guide; a long unsupported 25 mm rod can deflect under lateral force, causing bearing wear and seal leakage.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (with F-SC80TC bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This SC is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC80X480TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the 80 mm bore SC cylinder produces 3518 N of push force and 3170 N of pull force. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 4523 N push.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The mounting dimensions, body length A (182 mm for the 80 bore), and trunnion bracket position will not match an ISO 15552 unit. You must replace it with another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with a TC mount.
