About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SH
The AirTAC SC80X500SH is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for high-temperature service, featuring Viton (FKM) seals that extend the operating range from 0 to +150 °C. With an 80 mm bore and 500 mm stroke, it generates a substantial 4523 N of push force at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a robust actuator for hot-environment automation.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable, non-contact position feedback. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration of heavy loads, while the PT3/8 port thread provides a standard pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SH Is Used
High-Temperature Automation
Viton seals enable reliable actuation in ovens, autoclaves, and foundry equipment where ambient temperatures reach up to 150 °C, far beyond standard cylinder limits.
Heavy Part Transfer
With 4523 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder easily moves large metal castings or assemblies on transfer lines, with magnetic sensors confirming end-of-stroke position.
Hot Press & Clamping
Ideal for clamping fixtures in heated laminating or thermoforming presses, where the adjustable cushion decelerates the 500 mm stroke to protect tooling and the Viton seals withstand continuous heat.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SH the Right Cylinder?
The SC80 bore offers a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands higher force, stepping up to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at the same pressure; for a more compact solution, the SC63 bore delivers 1559 N. This 500 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
For a stroke of this length, ensure the load is guided and side forces are eliminated to prevent bending stress on the 25 mm rod. For a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration. This cylinder is dimensionally a tie-rod design and is not 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 SC80X500SH FAQ
At the standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3518 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and has a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct match only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, magnet option, and mounting.
