About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SH
The AirTAC SC80X980SH is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 980 mm stroke, paired with a 25 mm diameter rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion, suits long-travel linear actuation in hot environments.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling rod-position feedback without external brackets. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it reliable for autoclaves, foundries, or engine test cells.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SH Is Used
Autoclave & Sterilization Equipment
Viton seals withstand 0–150°C steam and chemical sterilization cycles, while the 980 mm stroke actuates large chamber doors or tray-loading mechanisms with 2513 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Hot Material Handling
Reliably positions grippers or pushers near furnaces and ovens. The built-in magnet with CMSG/DMSG sensors confirms full extension and retraction in high-ambient-temperature zones.
Long-Stroke Sorting Gate
The 980 mm travel diverts heavy packages or pallets on high-speed conveyor lines. The 28 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the 25 mm rod smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact stroke is acceptable, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. This 980 mm stroke approaches the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore; ensure the rod is externally guided or used in a purely axial push/pull application, as a long unsupported 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 80 mm bore, 980 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC80 of the same 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 SC80X980SH FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder produces 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.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It can directly replace another AirTAC SC80 cylinder with the same stroke, PT ports, magnet option, and Viton seals.
