The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X525S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 525mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC200X525S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa (28274 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 33 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust deceleration for heavy loads moving through a 525 mm stroke.
Equipped with the -S suffix, this model integrates a built-in magnet along the barrel, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors for precise position feedback without external brackets. The standard PT3/4 port thread and TPU seals suit filtered-air operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Diverts loaded pallets up to 2 tonnes on a conveyor transfer station using the 15708 N push force at standard plant pressure, with sensor confirmation of full extend and retract.
Pushes large metal or composite panels into a forming press. The 33 mm cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the heavy tooling, while the magnet confirms the part is fully loaded.
Actuates a heavy-duty clamp arm on a bulk bag filler. The -S magnet signals the clamp position to the PLC, ensuring the fill cycle only starts when the bag is securely held.
Select the SC200 bore when your application requires push forces in the 15708 N (at 0.5 MPa) to 28274 N (at 0.9 MPa) range. For a step down in force class, the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa; for even higher demands, consider the SC250 at 24544 N. At a 525 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from significant side loads—an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear on this long-stroke unit.
For direct replacement, match five key attributes: 200 mm bore, 525 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to equivalent AirTAC SC models.
Quick checklist
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, push force reaches 28274 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No, the SC200 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
