The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X100X125 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 100mm and 125mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 225mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X100X125 is a double-acting tandem cylinder providing four fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 100 mm, 125 mm, and the total travel of 225 mm. Each piston section generates a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, with a 25 mm diameter rod and M20x1.5 rod thread for robust linear motion.
With a body length A(SCT) of 308 mm and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, this 100 mm bore cylinder handles multi-stop tasks like two-depth pressing or three-gate diverting. The PT1/2 ports ensure ample flow, and the TPU seals operate reliably from -20 to +70 °C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCT (multi-position) datasheet. SCT is available in bores 32–100; each of the two sections has a 500 mm max standard stroke (800 mm max). Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 100 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 125 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 225 mm |
Positions are set by pressurising section 1, section 2, or both. With equal strokes you get 3 distinct positions; with unequal strokes you get 4.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Force is per actuated piston section (single-piston, same as the SC bore): push uses the full bore area, pull subtracts the rod area. Size with a safety margin.

Achieve a partial press at 100 mm for alignment and a full-depth press at 225 mm, with a neutral stop at 125 mm for part inspection between operations.
Control a three-position diverter gate on a conveyor, directing packages to lanes 1, 2, or 3 using the 0, 100, and 225 mm rod positions.
Advance material in two unequal steps—first a 100 mm push, then a final 125 mm push—for precise indexing in a cut-to-length application.
Select the SCT100X100X125 when a single actuator must deliver three distinct extension points without external hard stops. The 100 mm bore provides 3927 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa; if your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to an 80 mm bore model, which offers 2513 N per section at the same pressure. This cylinder is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SCT100X100X125 with matching PT ports and basic mounting. For strokes over 300 mm combined, evaluate the rod's column strength and consider an external guide to prevent side-load induced bending.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides 4 discrete stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm, 125 mm, and the combined total of 225 mm. These are achieved by pressurizing either section individually or both together.
Each piston section delivers a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. The force does not double for a multi-position move; the 3927 N figure represents the thrust available from a single actuated section to move the load to the next stop.
