About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160S
The SC200X160S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm bore, 40 mm piston rod, and 160 mm stroke, this model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling clean end-of-stroke or mid-position detection without external brackets.
Its 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates high-inertia loads smoothly, protecting the end caps during fast cycles. The body length A is 244 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 404 mm. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the SC200X160S uses PT3/4 ports and standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
The 28274 N push force at 0.9 MPa drives clamping and forming tools in large stamping or die-casting cells, with magnetic sensors confirming tool position.
Pallet Lift & Transfer
Lifts and transfers heavy pallets on cross-transfer stations; the 33 mm cushion absorbs impact from high-inertia loads, and the -S magnet signals end-of-stroke to the PLC.
Sawmill Log Flipper
Rotates large logs or timber cants into position. The built-in magnet allows non-contact position sensing in dusty, bark-filled environments where optical sensors fail.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC200 bore when your application needs between 15708 N and 28274 N of push force—stepping down to an SC160 bore would reduce push force to 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 160 mm, the 40 mm rod is robust, but always check for side loads; if the load is not guided, add an external guide or linear rail to prevent rod bearing damage. To replace an existing unit, match five points: 200 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC200X160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 15708 N and pull force is 15080 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 28274 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable position feedback without extra mounting hardware.
