About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X1500
The AirTAC SC250X1500 is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for large-scale industrial automation. With a 250 mm bore and a full 1500 mm stroke, this model generates 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 44178 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for pressing, lifting, and heavy clamping applications.
This ISO 6430 class cylinder features a rigid 50 mm diameter piston rod with M42x2 male threads and a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The body length A is 294 mm, giving a total extended length of 1794 mm. Standard PT1" ports supply the filtered air, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 °C with the default TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X1500 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing & Forming
Delivers up to 44178 N at 0.9 MPa for stamping, riveting, and material forming operations where consistent high force is essential.
Pallet Lifting & Tipping
The 1500 mm stroke and 24544 N push force at 0.5 MPa handle large-scale lifting, tilting, and dumping mechanisms in logistics and waste handling.
Structural Testing Rigs
Applies controlled, repeatable linear force for load testing beams, welds, and large assemblies, with adjustable cushioning to protect the test specimen.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X1500 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the SC200X1500 delivers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa and shares the same 1500 mm stroke limit. If your load demands the full 24544 N at 0.5 MPa that this 250 mm bore provides, the SC250 is the correct choice.
At this 1500 mm stroke, side loads on the 50 mm rod become a critical design factor. Always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent bending moments on the rod bearing. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 250 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT1" port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body-mount unit), and whether a magnet is required (this model has no 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 SC250X1500 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC250X1500 produces 34361 N of push force on extension. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 44178 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 5006 kgf.
No. The SC250X1500 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
