The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X150X200 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 150mm and 200mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 350mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X150X200 is a 100 mm bore multi-position pneumatic cylinder that provides four fixed mechanical stops along its stroke: 0 mm (fully retracted), 150 mm, 200 mm, and 350 mm (total travel). Each piston section generates a powerful 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty material handling tasks.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter rod with a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. The body length A is 308 mm, and each end features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

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 (section 2) | 200 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 350 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.

Controls pallet flow on a conveyor with two raised positions: a 150 mm low-profile stop for light pallets and a 200 mm high-stop for heavy ones, using the full 350 mm stroke to clear the line entirely.
Positions a heated platen at two distinct depths (150 mm and 200 mm) in a packaging seal station, accommodating different product heights with a single compact tandem cylinder.
Shifts a 3-way chute on a mining or aggregate line. The four positions (0, 150, 200, 350 mm) allow the gate to direct material flow to three separate downstream conveyors.
Select the SCT100X150X200 when your application requires a heavy-duty actuator to index a load to two distinct extended positions without the complexity of servo motors or external hard stops. This model is a direct alternative to using two separate 100 mm bore cylinders with a mechanical coupling, saving space and simplifying pneumatic circuitry. For a lighter load, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (SCT80X150X200) reduces the per-section push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa.
This is a genuine AirTAC replacement part. To ensure drop-in compatibility, match the 100 mm bore, both strokes (150 mm and 200 mm), the PT port thread, and the basic mounting configuration. With a combined stroke of 350 mm, ensure the rod is adequately guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending or premature seal wear on the 25 mm rod.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete mechanical stops. The rod positions are 0 mm (fully retracted), 150 mm (first section extended), 200 mm (second section extended), and 350 mm (both sections extended for total travel).
The force is generated per actuated piston section and matches a standard SC100 cylinder. At 0.5 MPa, one section provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull. The force does not double when both sections are pressurized; each section independently moves the rod to its designated stop.
