About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X5
The SC80X5 is an ultra-short-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder built on the AirTAC SC tie-rod platform. With an 80 mm bore and just 5 mm of travel, it generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa), making it ideal for precise clamping, ejecting, or short-pitch positioning tasks where space is tight.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and PT3/8 ports. The body length A is 182 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) helps decelerate the piston smoothly even in this compact stroke. Standard TPU seals provide a -20 to +70 °C operating range.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X5 Is Used
High-Force Clamping
The 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa makes the SC80X5 perfect for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining or welding cells where a short, powerful stroke secures parts.
Short-Pitch Ejection
With only 5 mm of travel, this cylinder excels at ejecting small components from dies or molds, providing a quick, repeatable blast of force without overtravel.
Compact Diverter Gate
Use the SC80X5 to actuate a small diverter or stop gate on a conveyor line. Its 80 mm bore provides ample force to hold position against product weight.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X5 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring a short, high-force push, the SC80X5 is a strong candidate. If you need slightly less force in the same compact form, the 63 mm bore SC63 series delivers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force, step up to the SC100 bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa).
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so verify body length A (182 mm) against your mounting space.
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 SC80X5 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SC80X5 delivers 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
