About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260
The AirTAC SC200X260 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm bore and a 260 mm stroke, this model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion for reliable end-of-stroke deceleration.
This cylinder's body length A is 244 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 504 mm. It operates on filtered air within a standard pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, using default TPU seals and PT3/4 port threads. The SC200X260 is a genuine AirTAC component, designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high force in a compact tie-rod format.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high force output needed for operating clamping fixtures and forming tools in heavy manufacturing presses, where a 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa is essential.
Bulk Material Gate Control
Controls large diverter gates or discharge chutes in bulk handling systems for aggregates or grain, using its powerful thrust to move heavy, material-laden plates.
Log and Timber Handling
Powers stops and kickers on heavy-duty conveyor lines in sawmills, providing the necessary force to position and transfer large, heavy logs through processing stations.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X260 when your application requires a push force in the class of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the SC160 bore, which provides 10053 N of push force at the same pressure. For a 260 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but always ensure the load is guided and free of significant side forces to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match these five key specifications: the 200 mm bore, the 260 mm stroke, the PT3/4 port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no accessory bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. This model is a standard tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC200X260 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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. This is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of the stroke to reduce impact. For load holding, an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve must be integrated into the circuit.
