The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X150X150S 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 SCT100X150X150S tandem cylinder delivers three fixed rod positions: fully retracted, 150 mm, and 300 mm total travel. Each piston section generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty sorting or clamping tasks that need repeatable stops without complex controls.
The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the 308 mm tie-rod body for end-of-stroke detection. A 25 mm diameter rod and M20x1.5 rod thread handle high side loads, while the 29 mm air cushion at each end decelerates the mass smoothly.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

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. |

| -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.
Diverts packages to three lanes using the 0, 150, and 300 mm stops, ideal for conveyor systems with sensor feedback.
Provides a partial advance at 150 mm and full closure at 300 mm for two-stage pressing or forming applications.
Indexes large sheets or panels to three precise locations for drilling or fastening, using the high force capacity.
Choose the SCT100X150X150S when you need three defined positions from a single cylinder body instead of complex multi-actuator setups. If 3927 N per section is more thrust than needed, the 80 mm bore SCT provides 2513 N push at the same pressure. For replacement, match the 100 mm bore, both 150 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet option. At 300 mm total stroke, ensure the rod is guided if side forces are present.
Multi-position checklist
Three discrete rod positions: 0 mm (retracted), 150 mm (first section extended), and 300 mm (both sections extended). The two equal strokes create three stops.
Yes, if the original is an AirTAC SCT with 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke on both sections, PT ports, and a magnet. Verify the mounting style, as this is a basic body without brackets.
