The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD80X75 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, 75mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD80X75 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a piston rod extending from both ends, delivering symmetrical force and speed in each direction. At 0.5 MPa, it provides a balanced 2268 N of thrust for both push and pull strokes, making it ideal for tasks where a rear rod connection is needed for tooling, stoppers, or external position sensing.
With an 80 mm bore and a 25 mm through-rod, this 75 mm stroke cylinder features a compact body length A of 257 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm at each end for smooth deceleration. The PT3/8 ports and M20x1.5 rod threads are standard, and its tie-rod construction ensures robust, serviceable operation in general industrial automation.

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 allows a workpiece to be pushed or pulled from either end of a transfer line, simplifying the mechanism for moving parts between two parallel conveyors with a single actuator.
Mount a primary tool on the front rod and a secondary tool, like a stripper plate or ejector pin, on the rear rod. Both are driven in perfect synchronization by the single piston for a compact, coordinated sequence.
The dual-rod support provides better resistance to rotation than a single-rod cylinder, making the SCD80X75 a reliable choice for pushing components into a fixture where twist must be controlled without adding an external guide rail.
This 80 mm bore model sits between the 63 mm (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) and 100 mm (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) sizes. If your application needs more force, stepping up to the SCD100 provides a significant boost, while the SCD63 offers a lighter, more compact alternative. Choose this double-rod SCD over a single-rod SC when you require a rear rod end to mount a second tool, a stroke adjustment stop, or a sensor flag, or when the inherent anti-rotation guidance of the twin rod bearings is beneficial.
For a direct replacement, match the 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, and basic mounting style. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet option to use CMSG/DMSG sensors. For a pivoting application, the TC centre trunnion mount with a TCM1 bracket is the correct choice; this model does not accept FB flange or CA/CB clevis mounts.
Double-rod checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are identical. The effective piston area is the same on both sides. The force is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and reaches 4082 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
Choose the SCD when you need to attach a load, bracket, or sensor to the rear of the cylinder. The through-rod provides equal force and speed in both directions, offers better guidance against side load than a single rod, and allows you to use the rear rod end for a stroke adjustment stop or external limit switch activation.
