About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X230S
The AirTAC SC200X230 is a 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 bore and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this cylinder is built for heavy-duty linear actuation where substantial force is required.
This model features a 230 mm stroke, well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 200 mm bore. The body length A is 244 mm, making the total extended length approximately 474 mm. It includes a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The standard PT 3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure robust pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X230S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces needed for large-scale forming, stamping, or die-casting operations, with smooth deceleration from the built-in air cushion.
Bulk Material Gate Control
Operates heavy slide gates or diverter chutes in silos and hoppers, reliably handling the high thrust required to move dense bulk solids.
Structural Load Testing
Applies controlled, repeatable linear force in test rigs for large components, beams, or structural assemblies, leveraging the cylinder's 28274 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X230S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X230 when your application requires approximately 15708 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 160 mm bore (10053 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the 250 mm bore provides 24544 N at the same pressure.
This is a basic configuration with no magnet, no mounting accessories, TPU seals, and PT threads. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 200 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT 3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (order separately, e.g., F-SC200LB for foot mount), and the magnet option (this model has none). For strokes over 300 mm, consider external guides to protect the rod from side loads, though at 230 mm this model is less susceptible to rod bearing stress.
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 SC200X230S 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 increases to 28274 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. The SC200X230 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or the load will drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
