About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X970S
The AirTAC SC80X970S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a strong mid-range actuator for industrial automation. This model features an 80 mm bore, a 25 mm piston rod with M20x1.5 threads, and a 970 mm stroke that stays within the standard 1500 mm maximum for this bore size.
A built-in magnet (-S suffix) is integrated into the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise. Operating on 40 µm filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the TPU/NBR seals provide a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X970S Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Pusher
The 970 mm stroke and 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa efficiently push heavy totes or pallets across wide conveyor transfer stations, with the built-in magnet confirming full extension and retraction.
Automated Panel Tilter
Provides the long, controlled linear motion to tilt large solar panels or sheet metal from horizontal to near-vertical in a processing line, using cushion adjustment for a smooth stop.
Vertical Bin Lift Gate
Operates a tall vertical gate on a bulk material bin with 4523 N of force at 0.9 MPa, holding it open during discharge. Magnetic sensors interlock with the fill system for safety.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X970S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80 bore when your application needs between 2513 N and 4523 N of force. If you need more thrust, step up to the SC100 which delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 provides 1559 N at the same pressure. The 970 mm stroke is long and generates significant bending moment on the 25 mm rod if side-loaded—always use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 970 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
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 SC80X970S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 4523 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 513 kgf.
No. The SC80X970S is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke. To hold a load safely, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
