The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X50SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 50mm stroke, PT1" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC250X50SH is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (44178 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 50 mm stroke and a 50 mm diameter piston rod, this unit is built for short, high-force clamping, pressing, or lifting strokes in demanding industrial environments.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0-150°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications where standard seals would fail. Ports are standard PT1".

Viton seals handle 0-150°C ambient temperatures, making this cylinder ideal for hydraulic-free hot press platens in plywood or composite lamination where high force and heat resistance are critical.
The 24544 N force at 0.5 MPa provides ample power for short-stroke die cushion or stripper plate actuation in metal stamping, with sensor feedback for cycle confirmation.
With a 0-150°C rating, this cylinder can directly actuate large dampers or flue gates near furnaces and ovens, providing reliable pneumatic control without complex thermal shielding.
Select the SC250 for applications requiring the highest force output in the SC family. If 24544 N at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, consider stepping down to the SC200 bore, which provides 15708 N of push force at the same pressure. For replacement, ensure a 5-point match: 250 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1" port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and Viton seals for high-temperature operation. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 24544 N and the pull force is 23562 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 44178 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 5006 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter in overall length than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC250 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, magnet, and Viton seals.
