The AirTAC Airtac SC200-250 Tie-Rod Cylinder Aluminum Alloy SC250X850 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 850mm stroke, PT1" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC250X850 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 24544 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (44178 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With an 850 mm stroke and a 50 mm diameter piston rod, this big-bore actuator is built for heavy industrial linear motion where high force and moderate speed are required.
This model features a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the large piston mass smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 294 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1144 mm. As an ISO 6430 class cylinder, it operates in the 30-500 mm/s speed range and uses a PT1 port for air supply.

Provides the 24544 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed for actuating heavy-duty clamping fixtures, bending brakes, or small forming presses in metal fabrication.
Operates transfer gates or pusher arms for pallet-sized loads on heavy conveyor systems, where the 850 mm stroke covers wide material paths.
Applies controlled, high-force linear motion in civil or mechanical test setups, such as loading bridge bearing components or structural joints to 44178 N at 0.9 MPa.
Select the SC250 bore when your application needs push forces in the 24544 N (at 0.5 MPa) class. If your load requires less force, stepping down to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa, which may allow for a smaller, lighter installation. For an 850 mm stroke, always check for side loads: a 50 mm rod extending this far can experience bending stress if the load is not guided. Use external linear guides or a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod bearings and seals.
For direct replacement, match five key points: 250 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, PT1 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory) configuration, and the absence of a magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC250X850 tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
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.
No. An 850 mm stroke with a 50 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. The rod bearing is designed to support the piston rod axially, not to resist lateral forces. You must use an external guide rail system or a rod-aligned load to prevent premature seal wear, rod scoring, or bearing failure.
