The AirTAC Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X880SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 880mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC80X880SH is an 80 mm bore, 880 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family, configured with a built-in magnet and high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull, rising to 4523 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, making it a capable mid-range actuator for hot or aggressive environments.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20×1.5 male threads and PT3/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce impact. With a body length A of 182 mm, total extended length is approximately 1062 mm. The -S suffix equips the cylinder with a magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, while the -H suffix specifies Viton seals that shift the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C.

With Viton seals rated to 150 °C, this cylinder operates reliably in ovens, autoclaves, and hot-melt dispensing stations where standard seals would degrade.
The 880 mm stroke moves components between distant conveyor lanes or workstations. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm transfer completion.
Magnetic piston with CMSG/DMSG sensors provides position feedback for automated clamping or pressing operations in assembly cells, ensuring the cylinder reaches full extension before the next cycle.
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs around 2500 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you need less force, stepping down to the SC63 bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa in a lighter, more compact body. For higher force, the SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at the same pressure. At 880 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant—any side load can cause rod deflection and accelerated bearing wear. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration if the load is not perfectly axial. For direct replacement, match bore (80 mm), stroke (880 mm), PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal (-H) to an existing AirTAC SC80 cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder produces 2513 N extending and 2268 N retracting. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 4523 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf (5027 N), but the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa and operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
No. The SC80X880SH is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold its position without live air pressure. If the directional valve is centered or air is exhausted, the piston can drift or drop. For load holding, add a pilot-operated check valve, an external rod brake, or a mechanical lock.
