The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X250 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC200X250 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With a 200 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy industrial linear motion, featuring a rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod and an M36x2 rod thread for secure tooling attachment.
This cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (33 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, reducing impact and vibration. The body length A is 244 mm, making the total extended length approximately 494 mm. It uses a PT3/4 port connection and operates reliably with filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C using its TPU seals.

Generates up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for powerful clamping, pressing, and riveting operations in assembly lines.
Provides the high thrust needed for lifting heavy pallets, actuating large diverter gates, or powering scissor lift mechanisms in logistics centers.
Suited for bending, punching, and forming applications requiring consistent, high-force linear actuation with a durable 40 mm piston rod.
Select the SC200 when your application requires force in the 15000-28000 N class. For a step down in force, the SC160 bore provides 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SC250 bore delivers 24544 N. Always ensure your mounting and rod alignment prevent side loading, especially on long strokes.
For a direct replacement, match these five critical points: 200 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, any required mounting accessory (this model is basic, without brackets), and the presence or absence of a magnet (this model has no built-in magnet). The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 21991 N and the pull force is 15080 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf. Force output is directly proportional to the supplied air pressure.
No. The SC200X250 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or drop under load. For load-holding safety, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
