About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X100
The AirTAC SC200X100 is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, this model is built for applications demanding extreme force within a compact linear travel.
This cylinder features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 thread and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads. The body length A is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 344 mm. It uses a standard PT3/4 port and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X100 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces needed for forming, stamping, or die-casting tooling, where a stable 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa is essential.
Large Valve Automation
Operates high-torque butterfly or gate valves in water treatment and process plants, using its 200 mm bore to reliably cycle large-diameter valves against line pressure.
Industrial Lift and Tilt Tables
Powers the main lifting or tilting axis of heavy-duty material handling tables, offering the brute force to manage multi-ton loads in a short 100 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X100 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X100 when your application requires a push force in the 15700 N class at standard plant pressure. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC160 bore reduces push force to 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, which may allow for a smaller, lighter mounting structure. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions carefully; a 40 mm rod extending fully can be subject to bending moments, and an external guide or a guided cylinder should be used to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five key specifications: 200 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic model with no brackets), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 15708 N and the pull force is 15080 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 28274 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. The SC200X100 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston will drift or drop under load. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
