About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30
The SC200X30 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder built for applications that need immense force in a very short linear stroke. With a 200 mm bore, it generates 15708 N pushing at 0.5 MPa and can reach 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy pressing or clamping tasks.
This model uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 male threads and PT3/4 port connections. The body length A is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 274 mm. It includes a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the high-inertia load smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30 Is Used
Heavy Press Insertion
Delivers up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into tight housings on assembly lines.
Die Cushion Actuation
Provides a powerful, controlled short stroke for die cushion pins in metal stamping, using the adjustable cushion to manage impact.
Clamping & Fixturing
Ideal for heavy-duty welding or machining fixtures where a compact cylinder must lock a large workpiece firmly in place.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X30 when your application demands the highest force class in the SC range for a short travel. If 15708 N at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, consider stepping down to the 160 mm bore, which provides 10053 N push force. Always match the replacement cylinder across five points: 200 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. For strokes over 300 mm in this bore, an external guide is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearing from side loads.
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 SC200X30 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.
This specific model (SC200X30) does not include a built-in magnet. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, you would need to order the -S variant (SC200X30-S). The standard model requires external limit switches if position sensing is needed.
