About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160TC
The SC200X160TC is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion, it provides robust, controlled deceleration for heavy payloads.
This model features a centre trunnion mounting (TC), supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC200TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 160 mm stroke, combined with a body length of 244 mm, makes it a compact yet powerful solution for swinging or articulating heavy machine elements.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160TC Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Applies up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large weldments or castings during machining or assembly processes.
Material Handling Pivot
The TC centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing, making it ideal for actuating large transfer arms or tilting heavy bins on industrial conveyors.
Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high, consistent force needed for operating heavy-duty forming dies, compactors, or baling presses in recycling and manufacturing lines.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X160TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, stepping down to the 160 mm bore model (10053 N at 0.5 MPa) may offer a more compact and cost-effective solution. When integrating this cylinder, ensure a perfect replacement match across five key points: 200 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mount, and the absence of a magnet sensor. The SC200 is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC200X160TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical 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 maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No, the SC200X160TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop under load. For load-holding applications, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
