About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X55TC
The SC80X55TC is an 80 mm bore, 55 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod with PT3/8 ports.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied complete with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (accessory code F-SC80TC), making it ideal for applications where the cylinder body needs to pivot. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 55 mm stroke smoothly, and the standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X55TC Is Used
Pivoting Clamp Fixtures
The centre trunnion mount allows the SC80X55TC body to swing, making it perfect for weld fixtures and assembly jigs where the cylinder must self-align as the clamp arm arcs into position.
Part Diverter Gates
With 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder reliably actuates diverter gates on packaging and sortation conveyors, where the trunnion mount absorbs the pivoting motion of the gate linkage.
Tensioning Mechanisms
The 55 mm stroke and high force output suit belt or chain tensioner applications on industrial machinery, where the cylinder body must pivot to maintain alignment as the tensioner arm moves through its arc.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X55TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80X55TC when your application requires a pivoting cylinder body with 2513 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load demands more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N at the same 0.5 MPa. For lighter, faster cycles, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting with its TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally 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 SC80X55TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 2513 N extending and 2268 N retracting. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the extending force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
Yes. The TC suffix indicates a centre trunnion mount, and AirTAC ships this model with the TCM1 trunnion bracket included. The complete mounting accessory part code is F-SC80TC. The bracket allows the cylinder body to pivot freely.
