About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X482TC
The SC80X482TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 482 mm stroke, built in AirTAC's tie-rod SC series. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force, rising to a substantial 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This specific model is factory-configured with a TC centre trunnion mount (includes the TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC80TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot as the load articulates. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 664 mm. Standard PT ports (PT3/8) and TPU seals suit normal -20 to +70 °C environments.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X482TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Pivoting gate or diverter arms on packaging lines, where the trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing freely as it extends and retracts.
Clamping & Forming Presses
Delivers up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding, gluing, or light forming operations in a jig.
Agricultural Implement Actuation
Controls chute doors or linkage movements on harvesters and spreaders, with the trunnion absorbing misalignment on moving equipment.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X482TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 for applications needing around 2500 N of force at standard plant pressure; if your load is lighter, stepping down to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. At this 482 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to direct side loading—use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bending stress on the 25 mm rod and premature bearing wear. When replacing, match five points: 80 mm bore, 482 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and confirm the magnet option (this unit has no built-in magnet).
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 SC80X482TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if supply air is exhausted. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke end—they do not lock the rod. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock.
