About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X486
The SC80X486 is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 486 mm stroke, this model suits medium-to-long linear movements in machine automation, providing a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion to decelerate end-of-stroke impact.
This cylinder features a PT3/8 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with a body length A of 182 mm. The total extended length reaches approximately 668 mm. As a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, it is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, making it a compact choice where space is limited.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X486 Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 486 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, sorting packages or raw materials between multiple lanes.
Press-Fit Assembly
With up to 4523 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder is ideal for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowel pins into housings on automated assembly fixtures.
Pallet Layer Positioning
Moves a pallet stop or layer squaring arm through a long 486 mm travel, ensuring consistent alignment of stacked goods before stretch-wrapping or strapping.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X486 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) can save space and air consumption. If higher force is needed, the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. At a 486 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported within the standard range, but any significant side load must be managed with an external guide or linear bearing to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: bore (80 mm), stroke (486 mm), port thread (PT3/8), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and magnet option (none). This model uses the default TPU seal and PT port thread.
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 SC80X486 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 SC80X486 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve centers, the piston rod will drift or drop under load. For load-holding applications, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
