About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980S
The SC80X980S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a 980 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model includes a factory-installed magnet (suffix -S), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly onto the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing. The cylinder uses standard PT ports and TPU seals, operating comfortably in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980S Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
The 980 mm stroke and 2513 N push force efficiently transfer heavy parts between distant conveyor stations or processing cells.
Automated Pallet Dispensing
Delivers consistent force to push or pull pallets in automated warehouses, with the built-in magnet enabling precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Heavy-Duty Jig Actuation
Ideal for clamping or positioning large workpieces in welding and assembly jigs, where the 28 mm cushion absorbs impact energy smoothly.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N of push at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. If a shorter, more compact build is preferred, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. At a 980 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For a drop-in replacement, match the 80 mm bore, 980 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet configuration.
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 SC80X980S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 2513 N pushing and 2268 N pulling. 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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so you can directly clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the barrel for non-contact position detection.
