About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500CA
The SC80X500CA is an 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a powerful mid-range actuator for industrial linear motion.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. With a body length of 182 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 682 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500CA Is Used
Agricultural Equipment
Operates pivot-arm mechanisms on harvesters and spreaders, where the rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to swing freely with the linkage.
Conveyor Diverters
Drives gate or diverter arms on material handling conveyors, using the pivoting action to swing chutes or stops into position.
Clamping Fixtures
Powers heavy-duty toggle clamps in welding jigs, providing 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa to hold large workpieces securely.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X500CA when your application requires a pivoting mount and a 500 mm stroke with 2513 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you need more force, step up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series, which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For lighter, more compact installations, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N.
At 500 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is extended significantly. Ensure side loads are minimized; if lateral forces are unavoidable, consider an external guide rail system to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. For replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, CA clevis mount, and the standard TPU seal material.
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 SC80X500CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (182 mm) than a standard ISO 15552 profile. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC 80 mm bore cylinder with matching stroke, PT ports, and CA clevis mount.
