About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500STC
The AirTAC SC200X500STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 28274 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm bore and 500 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy-duty linear applications requiring substantial force over a mid-range travel distance.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion (TC) mount with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 40 mm diameter rod and 33 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth deceleration of large inertial loads.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500STC Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high force needed for clamping and forming in large pneumatic presses, with trunnion mounting allowing the cylinder to align with the tool's arc of movement.
Industrial Damper Control
Operates large ventilation or process dampers requiring high torque, where the centre trunnion mount accommodates the damper's rotational path.
Logistics Tilt Mechanism
Powers the tilt function on heavy-duty conveyor sections or large sorting trays, using the magnet for end-of-stroke position feedback to the control system.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X500STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. For maximum force in the SC family, the SC250 bore offers 24544 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on all five key points: 200 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. At this 500 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present, as the 40 mm rod can experience bending moments under off-axis loads.
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 SC200X500STC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC200 tie-rod cylinder matching the stroke, PT ports, TC mount, and magnet sensor option.
