About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200S
The AirTAC SC200X200S is a double-acting single-rod 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 bore and a 200 mm standard stroke, this model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and an M36x2 rod thread for heavy-duty mechanical coupling.
This variant includes the -S suffix, indicating a built-in magnet embedded in the piston. This allows for direct, non-contact position sensing by clamping CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or solid-state sensors directly onto the barrel, eliminating the need for external switch mounting hardware. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly over a 33 mm cushion length to protect the end caps from impact damage.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa for industrial pressing, riveting, and heavy-duty clamping fixtures in metal fabrication.
Material Handling & Sorting
Directly actuates large diverter gates and pusher arms on heavy-duty conveyor systems, with the built-in magnet enabling reliable end-of-stroke position confirmation.
Large Valve Actuation
Provides the high thrust required to operate large butterfly or ball valves in processing plants, with sensor feedback for safety interlocks.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X200S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X200S when your application requires a high-force actuator with sensor feedback capability. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the 160 mm bore model (SC160 series), which provides 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For even larger forces, the 250 mm bore model offers 24544 N at the same pressure.
For this 200 mm stroke, the rigid tie-rod construction and 40 mm rod provide good inherent side-load resistance, but external guides or a guided cylinder are still recommended if the load is not perfectly aligned with the rod axis. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 200 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no factory-fitted bracket), and the presence of a built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
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 SC200X200S 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.
The -S suffix means a permanent magnet is integrated into the piston. This magnetic field is detected by solid-state (DMSG/EMSG) or reed (CMSG) sensors that clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots. This provides a non-contact, easily adjustable method for confirming piston position without external flags or brackets.
