About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240
The AirTAC SC200X240 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder designed for heavy industrial linear actuation. With a 200 mm bore and 240 mm stroke, it generates a substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for demanding clamping and pressing tasks.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 male thread and PT3/4 pneumatic ports. The cylinder body has a base length (A) of 244 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 484 mm. It includes an adjustable air cushion with a 33 mm cushion length to effectively decelerate high-inertia loads at the end of the stroke.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Actuation
Provides the high force needed to shift blades, booms, or gates on agricultural and construction equipment, operating reliably in dusty conditions with filtered air.
Baler and Compactor Drive
Delivers the sustained 28,000 N thrust required to compress recyclable materials like cardboard and plastics into dense, manageable bales.
Large-Scale Clamping
Ideal for heavy-duty welding fixtures and assembly jigs where a powerful, controlled clamping force is needed to hold large workpieces securely during processing.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X240 when your application requires a force output in the 15000-28000 N range at standard shop air pressures. If your load demands slightly less force and a smaller footprint, consider stepping down to the 160 mm bore (SC160 series) which provides 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 240 mm, the standard tie-rod construction provides excellent rigidity, but always ensure the load is guided and aligned axially to prevent bending stress on the 40 mm rod and premature seal wear.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, verify five key specifications against your existing cylinder: the 200 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread type, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body without brackets), and the absence of a built-in magnet.
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 SC200X240 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, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. The SC200 body is shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC200 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, and basic mounting.
