About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X300SH
The AirTAC SC200X300SH is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion, this 200 mm bore actuator is built to handle large-scale industrial movements with controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This specific model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and features Viton (FKM) seals (-H), extending the operating temperature range to 0–150°C for demanding hot environments. The body length is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 544 mm for the 300 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X300SH Is Used
Sawmill & Timber Processing
The high-temperature Viton seals and 15 kN+ force make this cylinder suitable for log positioning and clamping in kiln-dried lumber handling, where ambient heat is a constant factor.
Heavy-Duty Material Handling
Ideal for actuating large transfer carriages or lifting heavy pallets in foundries and steel service centers, leveraging the 28274 N thrust at 0.9 MPa for reliable load movement.
Hot Press & Molding Machinery
With a 0–150°C operating range, this cylinder excels in hydraulic-free hot press applications for composites or rubber molding, where consistent force and sensor feedback are critical.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X300SH the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 160 mm bore (10053 N at 0.5 MPa), or for maximum force in this class, the 250 mm bore provides 24544 N. With a 300 mm stroke on a 40 mm rod, ensure side loads are minimal; if lateral forces are present, use an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 200 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature compatibility.

- ✓ 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 SC200X300SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 21991 N and the pull force is 15080 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 28274 N. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
No. The SC200X300SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. It relies on continuous air pressure to maintain position. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
