About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X510
The SC80X510 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a 510 mm stroke, this model is built for applications requiring a substantial mid-range stroke length, such as material transfer or pressing operations. The 25 mm diameter piston rod is supported by an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm at each end, ensuring smooth deceleration of the payload.
The cylinder body has a length of 182 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 692 mm. As a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, it features a PT3/8 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread for secure tooling attachment. This model comes in the basic configuration with no magnet, standard TPU seals, and PT threads, making it a reliable workhorse for general industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X510 Is Used
Material Transfer
The 510 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa efficiently shift heavy totes or panels between conveyor lanes, with the adjustable cushion absorbing impact at the end of travel.
Light Pressing & Clamping
Delivers up to 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for holding large workpieces during welding, gluing, or assembly operations in jigs and fixtures.
Palletising & Sorting
The 80 mm bore provides the thrust needed to push boxes or products onto pallets or divert them on sorting lines, handling repetitive, high-cycle tasks reliably.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X510 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N for lighter, more compact designs. At a 510 mm stroke, the piston rod is significantly extended; ensure external guides or a guided cylinder are used if the load applies any side force, as an unsupported rod is susceptible to bending and bearing wear. For a correct replacement, match the 80 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet sensor.
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 SC80X510 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No, the SC80X510 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop under load. To safely hold a position or load without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
