About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X80SN
The SC80X80SN is an 80 mm bore, 80 mm stroke double-acting tie-rod cylinder fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, making it a cost-effective choice for general industrial air service within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature band. With a 25 mm piston rod and a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa), this model handles mid-range clamping, pressing, and ejecting tasks that need a compact stroke.
This unit uses the standard PT1/4 port thread and has an adjustable air cushion length of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 182 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 262 mm. As a basic configuration without a magnet or mounting accessories, it provides a straightforward drop-in actuator for machine builders who already have their own brackets and sensor arrangements.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X80SN Is Used
Pneumatic Press Frames
Delivers 4523 N of push force at 0.9 MPa for short-stroke pressing, staking, or riveting operations in benchtop assembly fixtures.
Product Diverters
The 80 mm stroke and rapid 30-800 mm/s speed range suit packaging line diverters that push cartons onto parallel conveyors.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides consistent 2513 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for holding workpieces during welding, drilling, or CNC machining.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X80SN the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of push force. If your load requires less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore reduces air consumption while still providing 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force demands, the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting style, and magnet option.
Although the 80 mm stroke is short, the 25 mm rod is robust for direct axial loads. If the application introduces any side load, even a short stroke can cause rod bearing wear; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod seals and bearing.
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 SC80X80SN FAQ
At 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 reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with the same stroke, PT port, and basic mounting.
