The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X125X175 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 125mm and 175mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 300mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X125X175 is a double-acting tandem cylinder with a 100 mm bore that provides four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 125 mm, 175 mm, and the total travel of 300 mm. Each piston section generates a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven through a robust 25 mm diameter rod.
With a body length A(SCT) of 308 mm and an effective cushion length of 29 mm, this tie-rod cylinder uses PT1/2 ports and an M20x1.5 rod thread. The standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, making it a reliable choice for multi-stop material handling where pneumatic sequencing replaces servo complexity.

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) | 125 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 175 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 300 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.

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.
Uses the four distinct stop positions to route packages or components into three separate conveyor lanes, controlled entirely by pneumatic valves.
Provides a 125 mm pre-press position and a 175 mm full-depth stroke, allowing a single cylinder to handle two different assembly insertion depths.
Operates a material gate with a closed position, a 125 mm partial opening, a 175 mm mid-flow setting, and a full 300 mm open position for clearing jams.
Select this four-position unit when a single actuator must stop at two intermediate points without the alignment hassle of two separate cylinders. The 125 mm and 175 mm strokes create a 300 mm total reach, ideal for diverting parts to distinct lanes. If higher force is required, this 100 mm bore is the largest in the SCT range; for a lighter, more compact alternative, the SCT80 bore provides 2513 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa.
Direct replacement requires matching the 100 mm bore, both the 125 mm and 175 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and the basic mounting configuration. With a 300 mm total extension, ensure the load is guided if side forces are present, as the rod supports the combined stroke length.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 125 mm, 175 mm, and the combined total extension of 300 mm. These are fixed by the two internal piston sections and are not infinitely adjustable.
Yes, it is designed to replace two separate 100 mm bore cylinders with 125 mm and 175 mm strokes. It ensures perfect axial alignment of the stop positions and simplifies the pneumatic circuit, provided the port thread (PT1/2) and basic mounting match your existing setup.
