About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500N
The SC80X500N is an 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It produces a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod. The N suffix specifies nitrile (NBR) seals, making it a solid choice for general industrial air service.
This cylinder has a body length A of 182 mm and an adjustable air cushion length of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the piston quietly. The 500 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Ports are PT1/8, and the rod thread is M20x1.5. As a genuine AirTAC component, it is built for reliable, long-lasting performance in automated machinery.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500N Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
Provides the 2513 N push force needed to divert packages or products on a conveyor line. The 500 mm stroke gives ample reach for wide belt sortation gates.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Delivers a controlled 4523 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding or assembly. NBR seals are compatible with standard shop air systems.
Press & Forming Operations
Used in light-duty presses for bending, crimping, or stamping. The tie-rod construction allows for easy maintenance and seal replacement in high-cycle applications.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500N the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of push force. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, saving space and air consumption. For higher force, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N at the same pressure. At a 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal to prevent bending stress on the 25 mm rod.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no mounting) configuration, and no magnet. This model uses NBR seals; verify seal compatibility if replacing a TPU or Viton version. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC80X500N FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80X500N generates a theoretical push force of 3518 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa due to the area of the 25 mm rod.
Yes, it can replace another SC80 of the same bore and stroke, but check your operating temperature. NBR seals work well in standard conditions, while TPU offers better wear resistance. Ensure the port thread (PT) and mounting style match your current setup.
