About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200CA
The AirTAC SC200X200CA 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 the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm stroke and a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy industrial linear actuation tasks requiring substantial thrust over a moderate distance.
This specific configuration includes a rear single clevis mount (CA), part number F-SC200CA, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation, which is essential for applications where the load path is not perfectly linear. The body length A is 244 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (33 mm length) effectively decelerates the high inertial loads typical of this force class, protecting end-cap components from impact damage.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200CA Is Used
Heavy Press & Forming
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces (up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa) required in hydraulic-style pneumatic press tools, stamping fixtures, and heavy-duty forming operations.
Construction Machinery
Suitable for actuating chutes, gates, and levers on heavy mobile or stationary construction equipment, where the rear clevis mount allows for the articulation needed in rugged environments.
Large-Scale Material Handling
Powers tilt mechanisms and lift-assist devices for handling heavy pallets, coils, or large fabricated parts, leveraging the 15080 N pull force to control substantial loads.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200CA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing even higher force, consider stepping up to the SC250 series, which provides 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force is sufficient, the SC160 series offers 10053 N at the same pressure. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a perfect 5-point match: 200 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod design 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 SC200X200CA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC200X200CA will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered; the piston can drift. For load-holding applications, you must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical rod lock.
