About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X580SH
The SC80X580SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 580 mm stroke, built on the compact AirTAC SC tie-rod platform. It generates 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and reaches 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a strong mid-range actuator for industrial automation.
This model is configured with the 'H' suffix, specifying Viton (FKM) seals that extend the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, ideal for hot environments like foundries or drying equipment. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion ensure reliable deceleration, while the PT3/8 port supplies the necessary flow for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X580SH Is Used
High-Temperature Process Actuation
The Viton seals (0–150°C) make this cylinder suitable for actuating dampers, diverters, or clamps in autoclaves, ovens, and heat-treating lines.
Heavy Part Transfer
With 4523 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it can push heavy components onto a conveyor or transfer them between stations in a hot manufacturing cell.
Press and Clamping Tools
Delivers the consistent, high force needed for pneumatic toggle clamps or small forming presses where ambient temperatures exceed standard seal limits.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X580SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when your application needs more force than a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) but does not require the bulk of a 100 mm cylinder (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). The 580 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. For this long stroke, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending moments on the 25 mm rod.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: bore (80 mm), stroke (580 mm), port thread (PT), mounting style (basic), and the Viton seal material for high-temperature compatibility. This cylinder does not include a magnet, so position sensing requires external limit switches rather than barrel-mounted sensors.
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 SC80X580SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 3518 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 2268 N at the same pressure, due to the area reduction from the 25 mm rod.
No, this model does not have the '-S' magnet suffix. The piston lacks a magnetic band, so CMSG/DMSG sensors cannot be used. For sensor-ready position feedback, order the SC80X580S variant instead.
