About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SN
The AirTAC SC80X980SN is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 80 mm bore and a long 980 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and NBR seals for reliable performance in standard temperature environments.
A built-in magnet is integrated into the piston, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise position feedback. The cylinder body length A is 182 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1162 mm. Its adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston, reducing impact noise and vibration at the end of the stroke.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SN Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 980 mm stroke and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa are ideal for shifting heavy pallets across roller conveyors in automated warehouses, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation.
Long-Reach Material Pushers
Used to push large workpieces off a production line, the NBR seals and adjustable cushioning ensure reliable, dampened motion over the extended 980 mm travel distance.
Automated Sorting Gates
The 80 mm bore provides the force needed to actuate heavy diverter gates on conveyor systems, while the magnetic piston allows sensors to verify the gate is fully open or closed.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X980SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, step up to the 100 mm bore SC100 series, which provides 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact cylinder is acceptable, the 63 mm bore SC63 series offers 1559 N at the same pressure. With a 980 mm stroke, this cylinder has a long, unsupported rod that is susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and ensure smooth operation.
To match this cylinder for a replacement, verify five key points: an 80 mm bore, a 980 mm stroke, a PT3/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the NBR seal material. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not a drop-in replacement for those profile types.
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 SC80X980SN FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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.
For a stroke of this length, the 25 mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads. You must mount the load on an external linear guide or use a self-aligning rod coupler to ensure the force is purely axial. The cylinder itself should never bear lateral forces.
