About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160
The SC200X160 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model features a 160 mm stroke, providing a compact yet powerful linear motion solution for heavy-duty tasks.
Equipped with a 40 mm diameter piston rod and M36x2 knuckle thread, this cylinder is built for demanding applications. The unit has a body length A of 244 mm and includes an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 33 mm at each end to decelerate high inertial loads smoothly, protecting the end caps.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Actuation
Provides the high force needed for lifting and tilting mechanisms on agricultural and construction equipment, operating reliably with filtered air.
Large Part Ejection
Delivers a powerful push stroke to eject heavy or stuck parts from large conveyor systems or stamping presses in manufacturing.
Dam & Sluice Gate Control
Operates large water control gates with 15708 N of force at standard plant pressure, offering a durable tie-rod design for infrastructure.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, the SC200X160 provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more force, the SC250 bore steps up to 24544 N at the same pressure. For less force, the SC160 delivers 10053 N. For strokes of 160 mm or longer, always assess side-loading on the rod. If the load is not guided, an external linear guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. To replace an existing cylinder, match the 200 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and confirm if a magnet is needed.
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 SC200X160 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC200X160 generates a theoretical push force of 21991 Newtons. The pull force on the retract stroke is 15080 N due to the 40 mm rod diameter reducing the piston area.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not a drop-in replacement. Match it only with another AirTAC SC200 tie-rod cylinder of the same stroke, port type, and mounting.
