About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60SH
The SC80X60SH is an 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for rod-position feedback, while the Viton (FKM) seals shift the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard TPU seals would degrade.
With a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, this cylinder decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a compact footprint for a short-stroke application. This genuine AirTAC unit is built for reliable high-cycle service in demanding thermal conditions.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60SH Is Used
Foundry & Heat-Treat Clamping
The Viton seals withstand ambient temperatures up to 150 °C, allowing this cylinder to operate reliably on furnace doors, die-cast clamping fixtures, and heat-treat transfer mechanisms where standard seals would fail.
Hot-End Part Ejection
The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm full retraction and extension on hot molding or thermoforming ejection stations, providing closed-loop control without external flag sensors that could be damaged by heat.
Autoclave & Sterilizer Actuation
With 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and a 60 mm stroke, this cylinder handles short-travel door latching or valve actuation inside autoclaves and steam sterilizers, where the FKM seals resist steam and high-temperature cycling.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X60SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X60SH when you need 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and must sense rod position in a high-temperature environment up to 150 °C. If your force requirement is lower, step down to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa); for higher force, the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five points: 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the Viton seal (-H suffix). This model ships with a basic mount; if your existing cylinder uses a foot, flange, or trunnion, order the corresponding F-SC80 accessory bracket separately.
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 SC80X60SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2513 N and pull force is 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 3518 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X60SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder and will not hold position or support a load when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a locking or braking device. If load holding is required, add an external rod brake, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical lock.
