About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X550S
The SC200X550S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (28274 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 550 mm stroke suits heavy-duty linear transfer, pressing, and clamping applications where magnetic piston sensing is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 33 mm adjustable air cushion ensure robust deceleration of high inertial loads.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X550S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Transfer
Moves loaded pallets across roller conveyors in distribution centers, using the 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shift multi-ton loads reliably.
Industrial Waste Compactor
Drives the compaction plate in recycling balers. The 28274 N force at 0.9 MPa crushes cardboard and plastic waste into dense, manageable bales.
Automated Spot Welding
Positions welding electrodes in automotive framing stations. The built-in magnet provides sensor feedback to confirm clamp closure before the weld cycle initiates.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X550S the Right Cylinder?
For higher force at the same pressure, step up to the 250 mm bore (24544 N at 0.5 MPa). If 550 mm is beyond your stroke requirement, the SC200 series offers standard strokes from 25 mm up to 1500 mm. Always confirm the five-point replacement match: 200 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the integrated magnet (-S). For strokes over 300 mm with side loads, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 40 mm rod from bending stress.
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 SC200X550S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 21991 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 15080 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area reduction from the 40 mm piston rod.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and overall length differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC200 tie-rod cylinder matching the bore, stroke, PT port, and magnet option.
