About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SCA
The AirTAC SC80X500SCA is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). With an 80 mm bore and a 500 mm stroke, it features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a rear single clevis (CA) mount, part F-SC80CA, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The standard PT port thread is 3/8 inch, and the total extended body length is approximately 682 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SCA Is Used
Part Sorting Gate
Actuates a diverter gate on a conveyor line. The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably shifts packages, while the rear clevis mount accommodates the gate's pivoting arc.
Agricultural Implement Control
Controls the angle of a chute or deflector on harvesting equipment. The built-in magnet provides position feedback to the operator, and the clevis mount handles misalignment on rough terrain.
Clamp and Fixture Actuation
Powers a pivoting clamp in a welding fixture. The adjustable cushion decelerates the 25 mm rod quietly at the end of the 500 mm stroke, reducing vibration on the workpiece.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 for applications needing 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If your force requirement is lower, step down to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for higher forces, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. For this 500 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads, which can cause bending and seal wear. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, CA rear single clevis mounting, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC80X500SCA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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 SC80X500SCA is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
