About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260S
The AirTAC SC200X260S is a robust 200 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a powerful 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa (28274 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 260 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, it handles heavy linear actuation tasks where position sensing is required.
This tie-rod cylinder includes a factory-installed magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. The body length A is 244 mm, and the adjustable air cushion at each end is 33 mm, ensuring smooth deceleration of large inertial loads.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Pushing or lifting heavy pallets and goods in logistics and warehouse automation, with sensor confirmation of cylinder position.
Large Press Tool Actuation
Operating heavy press tools and clamping fixtures in manufacturing, using the magnet for cycle start/end verification.
Structural Testing Rigs
Applying high, controlled force in civil or mechanical test equipment, with sensor feedback for data acquisition.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X260S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing a 200 mm bore, the SC200 series provides a substantial force increase over the SC160 (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa). If a shorter overall length is acceptable, consider stepping down to the 160 mm bore. When replacing this cylinder, match the 200 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. For strokes over 300 mm on a 40 mm rod, evaluate side-load forces; an external guide or guided cylinder may be necessary to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
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 SC200X260S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 21991 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 15080 N, accounting for the 40 mm rod diameter area.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnetic piston. You can directly mount AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel tie-rods to detect position.
