About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200FA
The AirTAC SC200X200FA is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty industrial applications. With a 200 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, it generates a push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for pressing, clamping, and lifting substantial loads.
This model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion of 33 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The FA front rectangular flange (mounting accessory F-SC200FA) allows secure panel or bulkhead mounting at the rod end. It uses PT ports (PT3/4) and operates with standard TPU seals within a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200FA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamp Fixtures
The 28274 N thrust at 0.9 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for hydraulic-press-style pneumatic clamping, riveting, and assembly fixtures requiring high force in a compact stroke.
Material Handling & Lifting
Provides the muscle for lifting and transferring heavy pallets or engine blocks in material handling systems, with the FA flange ensuring a rigid, fixed mounting point.
Large Valve & Damper Actuation
Delivers reliable, high-force actuation for large industrial valves, dampers, and gates in processing plants, leveraging its robust 40 mm rod and tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200 when your application requires forces in the 15000-28000 N range. For slightly lower force requirements, the SC160 bore offers 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the SC250 bore steps up to 24544 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, and FA front flange mounting when replacing an existing unit.
For this 200 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported within the cylinder body, but any external side load should be managed with an external guide or linear rail to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SC200X200FA FAQ
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 reaches 28274 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Its body length is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit, so dimensions and mounting are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC200 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, and FA front flange mount.
