About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500TC
The SC80X500TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With an 80 mm bore, 25 mm piston rod, and 500 mm stroke, this model includes a centre trunnion mount for pivoting applications, supplied with the TCM1 bracket.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The PT3/8 port and M20x1.5 rod thread are standard, and the total extended body length is approximately 682 mm. It operates reliably on filtered air within a -20 to +70 °C range using TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 500 mm stroke and centre trunnion pivot allow this cylinder to swing diverter arms smoothly, sorting packages or materials on high-speed conveyor lines with 2513 N of push force.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Delivers consistent clamping force up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa for holding steel fabrications in place. The trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot, accommodating fixture articulation.
Process Valve Actuation
Operates large quarter-turn ball or butterfly valves requiring a long linear stroke. The TC mount handles the arc motion, while the adjustable cushion protects the valve seats from hard stops.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X500TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of force. For lighter loads, stepping down to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa in a more compact body. For higher demands, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N at the same pressure.
At a 500 mm stroke, ensure side loads are managed. Long unsupported strokes on a 25 mm rod can experience bending under lateral force; use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. For replacement, match bore (80 mm), stroke (500 mm), PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount with bracket, and the non-magnetic piston configuration.
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 SC80X500TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the mounting dimensions are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with the same stroke, PT port, and TC centre trunnion mount.
