The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD80X200SH 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, 200mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD80X200SH is a double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder that provides identical force and speed in both directions, delivering 2268 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. The 25 mm diameter rod passes through both end caps, allowing you to mount tooling, a stopper, or a sensor flag on the rear rod end while maintaining a symmetric, non-rotating output. This model is fitted with a built-in magnet (S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and high-temperature Viton seals (H suffix) that shift the operating range to 0–150 °C.
With a 200 mm stroke, this cylinder is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore. The tie-rod construction provides a robust body length of 257 mm (A dimension for SCD), and the adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends, with a 28 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly. Ports are PT3/8, and the rod features an M20x1.5 male thread for attaching end effectors. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the force output reaches 4082 N, making it a powerful choice for demanding two-sided actuation tasks in hot environments.

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 through-rod design provides a driving force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa from both ends simultaneously, ideal for operating two mechanisms in a synchronized sequence from a single cylinder.
With the built-in magnet and Viton seals for 0–150 °C operation, this cylinder is ready for hot environments where you need to confirm end-of-stroke position using CMSG/DMSG sensors mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel.
The equal push/pull force of 4082 N at 0.9 MPa makes this cylinder perfect for driving a transfer shuttle back and forth, where consistent speed and force in both directions are critical for a smooth process.
This SCD80X200SH suits applications needing a balanced 2268 N output at 0.5 MPa in both directions. If your force requirement is lower, the 63 mm bore SCD delivers 1402 N, which may allow for a smaller, more economical installation. For higher force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N. Because the double rod extends from both ends, ensure there is clearance for the rear rod's movement. If you only need force from one end, a single-rod SC series cylinder is a simpler alternative. This model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCD80X200SH cylinder; key matching points are the 80 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, magnet option, and Viton seals.
Double-rod checklist
The push and pull forces are identical due to the double-rod design. At 0.5 MPa it is 2268 N, at 0.7 MPa it is 3175 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the force is 4082 N in both directions.
Choose the SCD when you need equal force and speed in both directions, a rear rod end for mounting external components like a sensor flag or stopper, or better resistance to rod rotation. The symmetrical rod also balances bearing loads, but for high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is still required.
