About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X450S
The SC250X450S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty industrial automation. With a 250 mm bore and 450 mm stroke, it generates 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 44178 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a robust 50 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The adjustable air cushion at both ends, with a 40 mm cushion length, decelerates high-inertia loads smoothly, protecting the cylinder and tooling.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X450S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Powers large forming or stamping press beds requiring consistent, high-force linear motion at 24544 N, with sensor feedback confirming each cycle.
Bulk Material Gate Control
Operates heavy slide gates on silos or hoppers handling aggregates, using the 450 mm stroke for full-open/full-close and the magnet for position verification.
Structural Test Rigs
Applies controlled, repeatable loads up to 44178 N in material fatigue or component testing fixtures, with adjustable cushioning to protect sensitive load cells.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X450S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC250X450S when your application requires a force class around 24544 N at standard plant air pressure. If a lighter, more compact solution is acceptable, stepping down to the 200 mm bore reduces push force to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of this length, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent excessive side-load bending moments on the 50 mm rod. For direct replacement, match bore (250 mm), stroke (450 mm), PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and basic mounting configuration.
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 SC250X450S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) air pressure, the cylinder produces 24544 N pushing force and 23562 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 44178 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet around the piston, making the barrel compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors, which simply clamp onto the tie-rod tube for non-contact position sensing.
