About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X290
The SC200X290 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 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 290 mm stroke, this unit is built for heavy industrial linear actuation where substantial force is required in a compact footprint.
This model features a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2 male thread and PT3/4 port connections. The adjustable air cushion (33 mm length) provides smooth deceleration at stroke ends, protecting end caps from impact. The body length A is 244 mm, making the total extended length approximately 534 mm.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X290 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces needed for hydraulic press alternatives, stamping dies, and heavy assembly fixtures.
Pallet Lift & Transfer
Handles vertical lifting of loaded pallets and heavy transfer mechanisms in automated logistics and material handling systems.
Structural Testing Rigs
Delivers controlled, repeatable linear force for load testing, structural fatigue analysis, and large-scale product validation equipment.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X290 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC160 bore generates 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC250 bore steps up to 24544 N at the same pressure. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five key points: 200 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. At this 290 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; external guide rails or a guided cylinder assembly are recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
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 SC200X290 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 at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No, the SC200X290 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load-holding safety, an external rod lock, pilot-operated check valve, or mechanical brake must be integrated into the circuit.
