About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60CA
The SC80X60CA is an 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a rear single clevis (CA) mount. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 2513 N pushing force and 2268 N pulling force, scaling to 4523 N at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 ports. The 60 mm stroke sits well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 80. The adjustable air cushion at each end (28 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the CA clevis allows the cylinder body to pivot during operation.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60CA Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
The 60 mm stroke and rear clevis mount let the cylinder pivot a diverter arm on a conveyor line, pushing cartons onto a spur lane with 2513 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Welding Fixture Clamp
Delivers a short, powerful 60 mm stroke to swing a clamping arm into place on a welding jig. The CA mount accommodates the arc motion of the clamp linkage.
Hopper Gate Actuator
Opens and closes a small discharge gate on a seed or grain hopper. The pivoting clevis mount handles the gate's rotational movement, and the 80 mm bore provides ample force even under material load.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between roughly 2500 N and 4500 N of pneumatic force from a standard 0.5–0.9 MPa shop-air supply. If you need less force, stepping down to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) saves air consumption and space; for more force, the 100 mm bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up. The 60 mm stroke is ideal for short clamping, ejecting, or diverting actions.
This CA variant includes the F-SC80CA rear single clevis bracket, which lets the cylinder pivot around a pin at the cap end—essential when the load travels in an arc. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, rear clevis mounting, and confirm whether a magnet (-S) is needed for 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 SC80X60CA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the SC80X60CA produces 3518 Newtons of force on the push stroke and 3175 Newtons on the pull stroke, based on the official AirTAC thrust table for the 80 mm bore with a 25 mm rod.
No, the SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. The mounting dimensions and overall length differ, so it is not a drop-in replacement. Use the SC80X60CA to replace another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, CA mount, and PT port thread.
