About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SN
The SC80X500SN is an 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion make it a robust workhorse for medium-duty linear applications requiring a half-meter stroke.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, and is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals (-N) for standard temperature operation from -20 to +70 °C. The port thread is PT3/8, and the total extended body length is approximately 682 mm.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SN Is Used
Material Transfer Gates
The 500 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa effectively actuate diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, reliably sorting packages or raw materials.
Press-Fit Assembly
With a peak force of 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder is ideal for press-fit operations, inserting bearings or bushings into housings with consistent, controlled pressure.
Pallet Layer Forming
Use the SC80X500SN for the horizontal pusher arm on a palletizing cell, sliding complete layers of boxes onto a pallet with the long 500 mm reach.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500SN the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 when the SC63's push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient. If your application needs more power, stepping up to the SC100 provides 3927 N at the same pressure. For this 500 mm stroke, ensure any side loads are managed with an external guide or rod support, as the unsupported 25 mm rod can experience bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series units.
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 SC80X500SN 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to directly clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series reed and solid-state sensors onto the barrel to detect end-of-stroke positions without any additional brackets.
