About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560
The SC80X560 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining an 80 mm bore with a 560 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force, making it a strong mid-range actuator for general industrial automation.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 port connections. The total extended body length is approximately 742 mm, based on the 182 mm body length A. An adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly over the final 28 mm of travel, protecting end caps from impact at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons off a main conveyor line onto a spur, using the 560 mm stroke to fully extend across wide belt sections.
Clamping Fixtures
Applies 2.5 kN of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold steel weldments in place during robotic assembly.
Hopper Gate Actuation
Opens and closes a discharge gate on a bulk material hopper, leveraging the long stroke for a full-clearance opening.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC series provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a smaller footprint is required, the 63 mm bore delivers 1559 N. At 560 mm stroke, the rod extends significantly; ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide rail to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. When replacing this cylinder, match the 80 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, basic mount, and 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 SC80X560 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 2513 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the thrust increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
It can be used without guides only if the load is perfectly axial and aligned. For any side load, even slight, an external guide rail or guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent the 25 mm rod from bending or damaging the bearing over the long extension.
