The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X150X150 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 150mm and 150mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 300mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X150X150 tandem cylinder delivers three precise, repeatable stop positions at 0 mm, 150 mm, and 300 mm by pressurizing its two piston sections. Each section provides a robust push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty sorting and positioning tasks.
Built on a durable tie-rod design with a 25 mm diameter rod and M20x1.5 rod thread, this model features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion on each end to absorb energy smoothly. The PT1/2 port connections and a body length of 308 mm ensure it integrates into existing pneumatic layouts without surprises.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 29 mm |
| Max stroke / section | Up to 500 mm standard |
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) | 150 mm |
| P2 (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.
| SCT | Multi-position (tandem) tie-rod cylinder series. |

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.
Controls a gate on a conveyor line to sort packages into three separate lanes using the 0 mm, 150 mm, and 300 mm rod positions.
Applies a light clamp at the 150 mm intermediate stop before a full-power 7068 N press at the 300 mm extended position for assembly operations.
Acts as a programmable hard stop for sheet material, allowing an operator to select between two different feed lengths without manual adjustment.
Choosing this SCT100X150X150 over two separate cylinders saves space and simplifies plumbing for applications needing three fixed stops. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2513 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, both 150 mm strokes, PT thread, and basic mounting configuration. With a total stroke of 300 mm, ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present to prevent rod bending.
Multi-position checklist
This cylinder provides 3 discrete mechanical stops because both strokes are equal at 150 mm. The rod positions are fully retracted (0 mm), mid-extension (150 mm), and fully extended (300 mm).
Yes, it is a direct form-and-function match for any AirTAC SCT100X150X150 with PT ports and basic mounting. Ensure your system's operating pressure is within the 0.15-1.0 MPa range and that the 3927 N push force per section meets your load requirements.
