About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500S
The SC200X500S is a large-bore, double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 33 mm adjustable air cushion are engineered to manage the high inertial loads typical of a 500 mm stroke in heavy industrial settings.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position sensing. The standard PT1/2 port thread and TPU seals provide a dependable -20 to +70 °C operating range.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Lifting
Provides the high force needed to raise and lower loaded pallets in material handling lifts, with the 500 mm stroke covering standard lift heights.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 28274 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into heavy castings on an assembly line.
Log Pusher on Conveyors
Actuates a heavy-duty pusher arm to divert large logs or steel billets on a conveyor, with magnetic sensors confirming retraction before the next cycle.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200 for applications requiring a theoretical push force of 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your force requirement is closer to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, consider stepping down to the SC160 bore. For a 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally; the 40 mm rod, while robust, is subject to bending moments if side loads are applied directly to the rod end without a linear guide.
For a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 200 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This is a non-ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC200 tie-rod units.
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 SC200X500S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
