About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X480
The AirTAC SC200X480 is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With a 200 mm bore and 480 mm stroke, it uses a rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 ports for high-flow pneumatic connections.
This cylinder features a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate heavy loads smoothly, protecting the end caps from impact. The body length A is 244 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 724 mm. The SC200X480 is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, built for demanding industrial tasks requiring high force and reliability.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X480 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Operates large forming or stamping press tools where the 28274 N push force at 0.9 MPa provides the necessary clamping and pressing power.
Bulk Material Gate Control
Drives heavy slide gates or diverter chutes in silos and hoppers, using the 15708 N force at 0.5 MPa to reliably shift dense bulk materials.
Structural Test Rigs
Applies controlled, high-magnitude linear loads in civil or mechanical test frames, leveraging the cylinder's 40 mm rod and stable tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X480 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X480 when your application needs the force class of a 200 mm bore—15708 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you can accept a lower force, stepping down to the 160 mm bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa) may reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always evaluate side-load conditions: the 40 mm rod can bend under significant lateral force. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five key points: bore (200 mm), stroke (480 mm), port thread (PT), mounting accessory (this is a basic model with no brackets), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders, so it is not a direct drop-in replacement for those profiles.
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 SC200X480 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No, it is not a direct dimensional drop-in replacement. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It will only directly replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting.
