About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240S
The SC200X240S is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa (28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 200 mm bore, 40 mm piston rod, and a 240 mm stroke, this model includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The body length A is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 484 mm. It uses a PT3/4 port and an M36x2 rod thread, operating reliably on filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Pushes or lifts heavy pallets and bulk materials on conveyors, providing the high force needed for smooth, controlled transfer operations in logistics hubs.
Large Press & Clamping
Applies 15.7 kN of clamping force in large assembly jigs or forming presses, with sensor feedback from the built-in magnet confirming tool position.
Industrial Gate & Damper Actuation
Operates heavy hopper gates or large air dampers in processing plants, using the adjustable cushion to manage the inertia of the gate at the end of its 240 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X240S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load exceeds 15708 N, consider the 250 mm bore model which offers 24544 N at the same pressure. The 40 mm diameter rod handles substantial axial thrust, but for this 240 mm stroke, ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: bore (200 mm), stroke (240 mm), port thread (PT3/4), the built-in magnet (-S suffix for sensor compatibility), and the basic mounting style. This SC series is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC200 or an equivalent tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC200X240S 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. The built-in magnet is solely for activating external reed or solid-state sensors (CMSG/DMSG/EMSG) to detect position. It does not lock or hold the piston rod; if air pressure is lost, the load will drift. For position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
