The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD80X175S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø25mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø80mm bore, 175mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD80X175S provides perfectly balanced bidirectional force, delivering 2268 N of thrust in both extend and retract strokes at 0.5 MPa. Its through-rod design, featuring a 25 mm diameter rod protruding from both end caps, makes it a natural choice for tasks where a rear tooling mount, stroke flag, or manual adjustment point is needed on the back side of the cylinder.
This model includes a factory-installed magnet (denoted by the -S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. With a 175 mm stroke, it operates well within the 1500 mm maximum for the 80 mm bore, and its adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) provides smooth deceleration at both ends of travel.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCD (double-rod) datasheet. Because the rod runs through both caps, the effective area is (bore² − rod²) in both directions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 kgf | |
Push and pull are EQUAL on a double-rod cylinder — both chambers lose the rod area, so effective area = (bore² − rod²) each way. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

The equal 2268 N force in both directions makes this cylinder ideal for shuttle tables that move a fixture or part between two stations, ensuring consistent speed and power in each leg of the motion.
With the built-in magnet, DMSG sensors easily confirm end-of-stroke position on both the front and rear rod extensions, providing reliable feedback for light pressing or clamping operations.
The exposed rear rod provides a convenient location for a hard stop or fine-adjustment screw, allowing operators to precisely limit the stroke without disassembling the front tooling.
Stepping up to a 100 mm bore SCD would increase the balanced force to 3681 N at the same 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm bore reduces it to 1402 N—choose based on the required push/pull force for your dual-sided tooling. If your application only needs force from one end, a single-rod SC80 series cylinder is a lighter and more cost-effective alternative. For direct replacement of an existing SCD80X175S, match the 80 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT port thread, and ensure the replacement also carries the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Double-rod checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are identical. At 0.5 MPa it produces 2268 N, at 0.7 MPa it produces 3175 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it produces 4082 N in both directions.
Choose an SCD double-rod cylinder when you need identical force and speed in both directions, or when you require a rear rod extension to mount a sensor flag, a secondary tool, or a manual stop. The through-rod also provides better guidance and resistance to side load than a single-rod cylinder of the same bore.
