About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X600
The AirTAC SC200X600 is a large-bore, double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it provides 15708 N pushing force and 15080 N pulling force, rising to 28274 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This 200 mm bore model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 male threads and PT3/4 port connections. The 600 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the cylinder body length A is 244 mm. Adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston over a 33 mm distance to manage end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X600 Is Used
Heavy Machinery & Agriculture
Operates large gates, chutes, and hopper doors on harvesters and bulk handling equipment, providing the high force needed to move heavy material loads.
Pallet & Container Handling
Pushes 1.5-tonne pallets or large containers onto conveyor transfers and stretch-wrapping stations, where the 15708 N force at 0.5 MPa overcomes static friction reliably.
Press & Clamping Fixtures
Applies sustained clamping pressure in large hydraulic-style pneumatic press fixtures for lamination, gluing, or assembly of oversized components like structural panels.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X600 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200 bore when your application requires push forces in the 15000-28000 N range at standard plant pressures. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC160 bore saves space and air consumption while still providing 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a 600 mm stroke on this large bore, ensure the load is guided and side forces are eliminated—a 40 mm rod under compressive load at full extension requires external linear guides or a guided cylinder configuration to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 200 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting (no factory-fitted bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet.
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 SC200X600 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the theoretical push force is 15708 N. At the standard maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the push force reaches 28274 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf. Pull forces are slightly lower due to the rod area: 15080 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The SC200X600 is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position on loss of air. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a brake. If position holding is required, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
