About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X900SLB
The SC80X900SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore, 25 mm diameter piston rod, and a 900 mm stroke, this model is built for mid-to-long linear movements in industrial automation. Its tie-rod construction keeps the body length A compact at 182 mm, plus the stroke for an extended length of 1082 mm.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The LB suffix denotes the F-SC80LB axial foot mount, providing stable surface mounting for the cylinder body. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (28 mm) to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X900SLB Is Used
Material Handling & Sorting
The 900 mm stroke and 2513 N push force efficiently transfer or divert medium-weight packages, totes, and components across conveyor lines. The built-in magnet provides reliable position feedback to the PLC for automated sorting gates.
Automated Pressing & Clamping
Delivers up to 4523 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining, welding, or assembly. The adjustable air cushion ensures a soft stop, preventing vibration and part damage at the end of the stroke.
Palletizing & Lifting Assist
Suitable for vertical lift assists or palletizer pushers moving loads over a long 900 mm travel. The LB foot mount secures the cylinder rigidly to a machine frame, while the magnetic piston enables easy integration of end-of-travel sensors.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X900SLB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC80 bore when your application requires a push force between 2513 N (at 0.5 MPa) and 4523 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your load demands more force, step up to the SC100 bore which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 offers 1559 N at the same pressure. For this 900 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side-loading conditions. A long, unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral forces; consider pairing this cylinder with an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
For direct replacement, match these five key specifications: an 80 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, LB foot mounting (F-SC80LB), and a built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not a drop-in replacement for that standard.
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 SC80X900SLB FAQ
The theoretical push force is 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the rod area: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. For dynamic applications, we recommend sizing the cylinder at 50-70% of these values.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a body length that is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC80 tie-rod cylinder with matching stroke, PT ports, LB foot mount, and magnet.
