The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X150TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 150mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC200X150TC is a large-bore, double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 150 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy industrial linear tasks where substantial force is required in a compact stroke length.
This configuration includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for applications where the load moves through an arc. The body length A is 244 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (33 mm) at both ends decelerates the high-inertia load smoothly, protecting the end caps from impact damage.

Generates up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa for static holding, pressing, or clamping of large workpieces in welding jigs and assembly fixtures.
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it suitable for actuating hoppers, chutes, or tipper mechanisms that move heavy bulk materials.
Provides the high push force needed for log stops, flippers, and veneer clippers in sawmills, where robust, tie-rod construction handles harsh environments.
Select the SC200 when your application requires forces in the 15000–28000 N range. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC160 bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical footprint. For a 150 mm stroke, side-loading is a key consideration; the 40 mm rod is robust, but any off-axis force must be managed with an external guide system to prevent rod bearing wear and ensure seal longevity.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 200 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC200TC bracket, and the standard TPU seal material. This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile; it is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC200 of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
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 SC200X150TC is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston rod can drift or drop. For load-holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
