The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X15X100S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 15mm and 100mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 115mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCT100X15X100S is a tandem multi-position cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions—0 mm, 15 mm, 100 mm, and 115 mm total travel—from a single compact unit. Its 100 mm bore generates a substantial 3927 N of push force per actuated section at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for heavy-duty staging or sorting tasks where two distinct intermediate stops are required.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The 25 mm diameter rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage kinetic energy during high-cycle operation, while the PT1/2 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

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) | 15 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 100 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 115 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.

Uses the 15 mm stroke for a rapid low-force approach and the 100 mm stroke for full-power clamping, protecting delicate parts from impact damage.
Directs packages to one of two lanes by stopping at the 15 mm or 115 mm position, with sensor confirmation via the integrated magnet.
Executes a light 15 mm pre-press followed by a 100 mm deep-draw stroke in progressive die tooling, all from a single cylinder body.
Choose the SCT100X15X100S when your process needs a short 15 mm advance and a longer 100 mm secondary stroke without the complexity of two separate actuators and external hard stops. For lighter loads, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces the per-section push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, which may be sufficient and can lower air consumption. If you are replacing an existing unit, match the 100 mm bore, both the 15 mm and 100 mm strokes, PT port threads, and the built-in magnet suffix (-S) to ensure sensor compatibility.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete positions: fully retracted (0 mm), first section extended (15 mm), second section extended (100 mm), and both sections extended (115 mm total travel).
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series reed and solid-state sensors that clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rods.
