About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60FA
The SC80X60FA is an 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a substantial push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks. This model includes a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 port connections.
The front rectangular flange (FA) mount, ordered under part code F-SC80FA, allows the cylinder to be bolted directly to a machine panel from the rod end. With a 60 mm stroke and a body length A of 182 mm, the total extended length is approximately 242 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 28 mm long, providing smooth deceleration for the piston assembly.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60FA Is Used
Panel-Mounted Clamping
The FA front flange allows direct mounting to a fixture plate for clamping parts in CNC machining or welding jigs, using the 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa.
Product Stops and Gates
Ideal for actuating a stop gate on a conveyor line. The 60 mm stroke provides a quick, decisive movement to separate or halt products for indexing.
Light Assembly Pressing
Delivers controlled force up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bushings, bearings, or rivets in automated assembly cells, with adjustable cushioning to protect tooling.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 when your application needs more force than a 63 mm bore can provide; the SC63 delivers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while this SC80 steps up to 2513 N. If you need even higher force, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N at the same pressure. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.
For a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so it is shorter and not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 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 SC80X60FA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. You should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and FA front flange mounting.
