About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30S
The SC200X30S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 30 mm stroke, ideal for short-throw clamping and pressing operations. At 0.5 MPa it generates 15708 N of push force, giving it the muscle to handle heavy tooling and compact stamping dies.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly onto the barrel for non-contact position feedback. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/4 port ensure robust air flow, while the adjustable cushion decelerates the 200 mm bore piston smoothly at end of travel.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Short 30 mm stroke with 15708 N force at 0.5 MPa for securely locking welding fixtures and machining jigs on automotive production lines.
Die Cushion & Stamping
Delivers controlled, high-force short travel for press die cushions and metal stamping knockout operations, with sensor feedback confirming position.
Material Stop & Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for heavy pallets or steel plates on gravity conveyors, using the magnet for end-of-stroke detection in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X30S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing even higher force, the SC250 bore provides 24544 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter body is required, stepping down to SC160 delivers 10053 N. The SC200X30S uses a 40 mm rod; while the 30 mm stroke is well-supported, any side-loaded application should employ an external guide or rod-bearing support to protect the rod and seals. To match this cylinder for replacement, confirm five points: 200 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
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 SC200X30S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC200 bore generates 21991 N of push force and 15080 N of pull force. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 28274 N push.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet within the piston, specifically designed for mounting AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods for reliable position sensing.
