About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560TC
The AirTAC SC80X560TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 560 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore, making this a standard-length configuration. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm air cushion at each end provide robust, controlled motion for medium-to-heavy linear tasks.
This model is factory-assembled with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 trunnion bracket (part code F-SC80TC). The trunnion allows the cylinder body to pivot, accommodating swinging loads without inducing bending stress on the rod. Ports are PT1/8, and the body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 742 mm. The standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyors. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the gate swings through its arc, preventing rod bending.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for CNC machining fixtures. The adjustable air cushion decelerates the rod smoothly at stroke end, reducing vibration transferred to the workpiece.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Suited for pivoting chutes or levers on harvesters and spreaders. The TPU seals and tie-rod construction handle dirty, wet environments, while the trunnion mount absorbs the angular motion of the linkage.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X560TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, non-pivoting installation is acceptable, the basic SC80X560 with foot or flange mounts can reduce cost. At a 560 mm stroke, side-load management is critical: the 25 mm rod can deflect under lateral force, so an external linear guide or a guided cylinder should be used if the load is not perfectly axial.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC series 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 SC80X560TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X560TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. To hold a load safely, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
