About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500
The SC200X500 is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered for heavy-duty linear actuation. With a 200 mm bore and 500 mm stroke, it generates a substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a 244 mm body length (A dimension) and a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The standard PT3/4 ports and M36x2 rod thread provide robust connections for demanding industrial tasks, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s suited to its ISO 6430 class construction.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces needed in hydraulic replacement or heavy pneumatic press tools, delivering up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa for forming or stamping operations.
Large-Scale Material Handling
Ideal for lifting, tilting, or transferring heavy pallets and bulk materials in warehouses, using its 15708 N push force at standard 0.5 MPa line pressure for reliable movement.
Industrial Damper & Gate Drives
Operates large ventilation dampers, diverter gates, or hopper doors in processing plants, where the 40 mm rod and adjustable cushioning manage heavy, high-inertia loads with controlled deceleration.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200 bore when your application requires a push force exceeding 11045 N at 0.7 MPa, which is the practical limit of the smaller SC125 bore. If your load demands less than 14074 N, stepping down to an SC160 can reduce air consumption and physical footprint. For strokes of 500 mm, always verify that the rod is adequately supported against side loads; external guides or a guided cylinder are strongly recommended to prevent bending of the 40 mm rod.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key points: 200 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, and will only interchange with another AirTAC SC200X500 or a tie-rod cylinder built to these exact specifications.
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 SC200X500 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 increases to 28274 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf, though operation is rated only up to 1.0 MPa.
No. The SC200X500 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of the stroke to reduce impact. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
