About the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X60S
The AirTAC SC250X60S is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (44178 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 250 mm bore, making it a compact yet extremely powerful actuator for pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder features a 50 mm diameter piston rod with an M42x2 thread, a 40 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the massive piston, and a body length A of 294 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and uses standard PT ports.

Where the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X60S Is Used
Heavy Pressing & Forming
Generates over 44 kN of force at 0.9 MPa for stamping, riveting, and forming operations in metal fabrication lines.
Pallet & Load Lifting
Provides the high thrust needed for lifting and positioning heavy pallets or machinery components in automated warehouses.
Structural Testing Rigs
Used in material testing machines where a controlled, high-force linear motion is required for applying tensile or compressive loads.
Is the Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X60S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC250 bore when your application requires a push force in the 24544 N range at 0.5 MPa. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure, reducing physical size and air consumption. The 60 mm stroke is a standard length, ensuring quick availability.
For replacement, match five key points: 250 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting configuration. This is an ISO 6430 class cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other tie-rod cylinders of the same specification.
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 SC250X60S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 5006 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to directly clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
