The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X125S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 125mm stroke, PT1" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC250X125S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for heavy-duty linear applications. With a 250 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, it generates a substantial push force of 24544 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 44178 N at 0.9 MPa), making it suitable for pressing, clamping, and lifting large assemblies.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 50 mm diameter piston rod with M42x2 male thread provides robust load handling, while the 40 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the SC250X125S uses PT1 inch ports and TPU seals for a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Generates up to 44178 N of force at 0.9 MPa for operating large forming, stamping, or assembly presses where consistent double-acting motion is required.
Provides the high thrust needed to lift and position heavy pallets or containers in material handling systems, with sensor feedback for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Secures massive workpieces in machining or welding fixtures. The built-in magnet enables precise clamp/unclamp verification via barrel-mounted sensors.
The SC250 bore is ideal when the SC200's push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for the load. For applications requiring even higher force, consider a larger bore or increasing system pressure, as this model can reach 5006 kgf of theoretical force at 1.0 MPa. Always verify that the 50 mm rod is adequately supported against side loads, particularly at longer strokes.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 250 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT1 inch port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. This ISO 6430 class cylinder is a direct dimensional replacement for another AirTAC SC250 of the same stroke and options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 24544 N and the pull force is 23562 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 34361 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 44178 N. These values are based on the 250 mm bore and 50 mm rod diameter.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC250X125S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod tube to detect piston position without additional brackets.
