About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X280S
The SC200X280 is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (28274 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 280 mm stroke suits heavy industrial clamping, pressing, and material handling where substantial linear force is required.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 40 mm diameter piston rod, PT3/4 ports, and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate high-inertia loads. The body length A is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 524 mm. Genuine AirTAC build ensures reliable performance in demanding factory environments.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X280S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the 15+ kN force needed to drive large forming dies and stamping heads in metalworking presses.
Pallet & Bulk Material Handling
Pushes or lifts heavy pallets and bulk goods on transfer stations, leveraging the 200mm bore's high thrust capacity.
Large Component Clamping
Secures oversized workpieces in CNC machining centres and welding fixtures with consistent, high clamping force.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X280S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC160 bore offers 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If your 280 mm stroke involves significant side loading, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder—the 40 mm rod, while robust, can still experience bending under high lateral forces. When replacing an existing unit, match bore (200 mm), stroke (280 mm), PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This model uses standard TPU seals for -20 to +70 °C operation.
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 SC200X280S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it produces 15708 N, at 0.7 MPa it produces 21991 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 28274 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. The SC200X280 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. To hold a position or load without live pressure, you must add a mechanical lock, external rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
