About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X900
The AirTAC SC200X900 is a heavy-duty 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. With a 200 mm bore and a 900 mm stroke, this model is built for large-scale industrial automation tasks that require substantial linear force over a long travel distance.
The cylinder features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads, a 33 mm adjustable air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration, and a body length A of 244 mm. The standard PT3/4 port supplies filtered air, and the TPU/NBR seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X900 Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates over 28 kN of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for large hydraulic-style pneumatic press replacements, forming dies, and structural welding fixtures.
Pallet & Container Handling
Provides the long 900 mm stroke and high force needed to push, lift, or transfer heavy pallets, bulk containers, and large components in logistics and material handling systems.
Construction & Mining Equipment
Suited for actuating heavy gates, chutes, and diverters in aggregate, mining, and construction machinery where robust tie-rod construction withstands harsh, dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC200X900 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC200X900 when your application demands force in the 15.7 kN class at standard plant pressure. If your load requires even higher force, stepping up to the SC250 bore provides 24544 N at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC160 bore delivers 10053 N at the same pressure.
For a 900 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side-load conditions. Long, unsupported piston rods are susceptible to bending under lateral forces. Always use an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to absorb side loads and protect the rod bearing and seals. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 200 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting configuration (no integrated 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 SC200X900 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 3204 kgf.
No. For a 900 mm stroke with a 40 mm rod, side loading is a critical concern. The piston rod can bend or cause premature bearing wear if not supported. You must install an external guide system or use a rod-alignment coupler to ensure the load is purely axial.
