The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X140X10S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 140mm and 10mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 150mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X140X10S is a 100 mm bore multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers four discrete rod stops: 0 mm (fully retracted),10 mm,140 mm, and the full150 mm extension. Each piston section generates a push force of 3927 N at0.5 MPa, rising to7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of0.9 MPa, driven through a robust25 mm diameter rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body has an A-length of308 mm, features an adjustable pneumatic cushion of29 mm, and uses standard PT1/2 ports. It is a genuine AirTAC component built for sequenced, multi-stop linear tasks.

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) | 140 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 10 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 150 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.

Actuates a press tool to a light contact position at10 mm for alignment, then drives to the full150 mm depth for the forming operation, with sensor confirmation at each stop via the built-in magnet.
Controls a diverter gate with a home position, a10 mm bypass gap, a140 mm main lane position, and a150 mm flush position, all managed by one compact tandem cylinder.
Provides an initial140 mm rapid advance to a workpiece, followed by a final10 mm high-force clamping stroke, using the magnet to verify the clamp is fully engaged.
Choose the SCT100X140X10S when your process requires two distinct short and long advance positions without the complexity of two separate actuators and external stops. The four defined positions (0,10,140,150 mm) are ideal for a primary long stroke with a precise secondary short step. If the force requirement is lower, stepping down to an80 mm bore reduces the per-section push to2513 N at0.5 MPa, which can lower air consumption and cost.
For replacement, match the100 mm bore, both the140 mm and10 mm section strokes, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. Since the140 mm stroke section is under300 mm, side-load and rod bending are typically not primary concerns, but always ensure the load is guided if off-axis forces are present.
Multi-position checklist
It provides four distinct mechanical stops:0 mm (home),10 mm,140 mm, and150 mm (full extension). These are achieved by pressurising the two piston sections individually or together.
The force is generated per single piston section. At0.5 MPa, one section provides3927 N of push force and3681 N of pull force. The force does not double when both sections are pressurised for a multi-position move.
