The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X100X600S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 100mm and 600mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 700mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X100X600S tandem cylinder provides four distinct rod positions—0 mm, 100 mm, 600 mm, and full 700 mm extension—using two independently controllable piston sections on a single 25 mm rod. With 3927 N of push force per section at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy multi-stop indexing tasks without the complexity of dual-cylinder setups.
A built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The 100 mm bore body has a 308 mm base length and 29 mm adjustable air cushion, while the 600 mm section stroke is made-to-order, extending lead time slightly for this non-standard configuration.

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). This configuration exceeds the 500 mm standard section stroke, so it is a non-standard / made-to-order build. 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) | 600 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 700 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.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
Related types: SC (single rod), SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke). SCT mounting: Basic, FA, FB, CA, CB, LB. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Partially extends 100 mm for low-force pre-clamp, then drives full 600 mm for high-pressure final forming, with sensor confirmation at each position.
Uses the 100 mm stop for diverting small parts and the 700 mm total travel to sweep larger items onto a separate conveyor lane.
Installs a bushing at 100 mm depth, then a second component at 700 mm in one smooth, position-verified machine cycle.
This SCT model suits applications needing a short 100 mm advance and a long 600 mm secondary feed from one compact tie-rod assembly. If your cycle requires higher thrust, stepping up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest SCT bore; for lower force, the SCT80X100X600S offers 2513 N push per section. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, both 100 mm and 600 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet suffix to retain sensor functionality.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), first section extended (100 mm), second section extended (600 mm), and both sections extended (700 mm total).
Yes, the -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, making it fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or solid-state sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
