About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X960
The AirTAC SC80X960 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 80 mm bore and 960 mm stroke suit long linear movements in material handling and automation where a robust, repairable cylinder is preferred.
This model features a 25 mm piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and an adjustable air cushion with a 28 mm cushion length. The total body length A is 182 mm, making the extended length approximately 1142 mm. The standard TPU seals operate reliably from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X960 Is Used
Long-Stroke Part Transfer
Moves components nearly a full meter between conveyor lanes or workstations with consistent 2513 N push force at standard line pressure.
Automated Press Feeding
Strokes sheet material or blanks into a stamping press or forming station, leveraging the 4523 N peak thrust at 0.9 MPa for reliable feeding.
Pallet Layer Positioning
Shifts pallet layers or slip sheets across roller beds in palletizing cells, using the long 960 mm reach and adjustable cushion for smooth, controlled motion.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X960 the Right Cylinder?
For a step down in force, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher thrust, the 100 mm bore offers 3927 N. This 960 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore. At this length, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: 80 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC80X960 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 3518 N and the pull force is 2268 N. These values assume a clean, filtered air supply and standard operating conditions.
For a 960 mm stroke, direct side loading on the 25 mm rod is not recommended. The rod can bend under side force, leading to seal damage. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder assembly to absorb transverse loads and ensure long service life.
