About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60
The AirTAC SC80X60 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (3518 N at 0.7 MPa). With an 80 mm bore and a compact 60 mm stroke, it is well-suited for short-throw clamping, ejecting, and pressing tasks where a high force density is required in a limited axial space.
The cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. Its 28 mm air cushion decelerates the piston quietly at end-of-stroke. The body length A is 182 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 242 mm, making it easy to fit into tight machine frames.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60 Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
The 60 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa make it ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures on machining centres, holding workpieces rigidly during milling or drilling.
Part Ejection
Delivers a quick, powerful push to eject formed or stamped parts from dies and moulds. The 28 mm cushion absorbs impact energy, protecting the tooling.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Operates diverter gates on packaging conveyors with a short, decisive motion. The 25 mm rod resists bending under the repetitive side loads of product diversion.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X60 when your application needs roughly 2500 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce weight and air consumption. For higher force, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure.
For direct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet. This SC 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 SC80X60 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the SC80X60 produces 3518 N of push force on the extension stroke and 3175 N on the retraction stroke (calculated from the 25 mm rod area).
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It will not fit the same mounting footprint. Replace only with another AirTAC SC80 cylinder of identical stroke, port thread, and mounting.
