About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500S
The AirTAC SC80X500S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a 500 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing, making it ideal for automated sequences where end-of-stroke or mid-stroke confirmation is required.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, reducing impact noise and wear. With a body length A of 182 mm, the total extended length is approximately 682 mm. The standard TPU seals provide an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500S Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 500 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuate heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to confirm gate position before the next product passes.
Automated Clamping Fixtures
Delivers consistent clamping force for CNC or welding fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture and workpiece from impact at the end of the 500 mm travel, while magnetic sensors signal clamp/unclamp status to the controller.
Pallet Stop & Lift Stations
Ideal for stopping and lifting pallets in automated storage systems. The 4523 N force at 0.9 MPa can handle heavy pallet loads, and the sensor-ready barrel simplifies integration into sequenced material-handling logic.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when your application needs around 2500 N of push force at standard shop air; for roughly 60% more force, step up to the SC100 bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa), or if you can accept about 1559 N, the smaller SC63 reduces bulk and air consumption. At 500 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is robust, but if the load applies significant side force or the rod is guided externally, verify the rod bearing bending moment; for purely linear, guided loads, this stroke is well within the standard range.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile; do not attempt to interchange it with ISO 15552 dimensional 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 SC80X500S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC80 bore generates 3518 N of push force on extension and 2268 N of pull force on retraction. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC80X500S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel. This provides non-contact, solid-state or reed-switch position sensing without external brackets or flags.
