The AirTAC SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 560mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

Pushes cartons off a main conveyor line onto a spur, using the 560 mm stroke to fully extend across wide belt sections.
Applies 2.5 kN of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold steel weldments in place during robotic assembly.
Opens and closes a discharge gate on a bulk material hopper, leveraging the long stroke for a full-clearance opening.
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
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.
