The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X65 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 65mm stroke, PT1" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC250X65 is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 44178 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 65 mm stroke and a 50 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a compact yet powerful linear stroke for heavy industrial actuation.
This model features a body length A of 294 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 359 mm. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (40 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps during high-speed, high-load cycles. Ports are PT1".

Powers large forming or stamping press tools requiring a compact 65 mm stroke with a consistent 24544 N push force at standard 0.5 MPa line pressure.
Drives heavy-duty pusher arms in steel mills or foundries, where the 50 mm rod resists bending and the 40 mm cushion absorbs impact from shifting dense loads.
Operates large sluice gates or industrial valves with a short, powerful stroke, leveraging the SC250's high theoretical force of 5006 kgf for reliable positioning.
Choose the SC250 bore when your application requires over 23500 N of force at standard plant air pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC200 bore reduces push force to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa while using a smaller footprint. For replacement, match five points exactly: 250 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, PT1" port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
Quick checklist
At 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 reaches 44178 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 5006 kgf.
No. The SC series is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end; it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
