The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X200X210S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 200mm and 210mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 410mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X200X210S is a 100 mm bore multi-position tandem cylinder that provides four distinct mechanical stop positions along its stroke: 0 mm (fully retracted), 200 mm, 210 mm, and the total extended travel of 410 mm. Each piston section delivers 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 or staging tasks.
This model features a built-in magnet, designated by the 'S' suffix, allowing for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or intermediate position sensing. The cylinder body has a length of 308 mm and uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread, offering excellent rigidity for the combined 410 mm total travel.

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) | 200 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 210 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 410 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 |

| 0.7 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.

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 chute or gate with three positions: closed (0 mm), partial divert to lane A (200 mm), and full divert to lane B (410 mm), using the 10 mm offset for fine flow adjustment.
Applies an initial low-force clamp at 210 mm stroke before a secondary high-force press at the full 410 mm extension, with sensor confirmation at each stage via the built-in magnet.
Installs components to two different depths in one cycle. The rod stops precisely at 200 mm for a bushing seat and continues to 410 mm for a final bearing press, ensuring repeatable quality.
Selecting this SCT model is ideal when an application requires two distinct extended positions plus full retraction, eliminating the complexity and alignment issues of two separate cylinders with external stops. The 200 mm and 210 mm stroke combination creates a precise 10 mm differential step between the intermediate positions. If a higher force is not required but a smaller footprint is, stepping down to an 80 mm bore SCT80X200X210S would provide 2513 N of push per section. A direct replacement must match the 100 mm bore, both 200 mm and 210 mm strokes, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the integrated magnet.
Multi-position checklist
This cylinder has four discrete mechanical stops. The rod can be positioned at 0 mm (fully retracted), 200 mm (first section extended), 210 mm (second section extended), and 410 mm (both sections fully extended). The 10 mm difference between the two strokes provides a very fine positioning step.
Yes, if your sequence requires stops at 200 mm and 410 mm. The SCT integrates both strokes into one tie-rod body, ensuring perfect axial alignment and reducing plumbing. Ensure the replacement matches the 100 mm bore, PT ports, and the 'S' magnet option for sensor compatibility.
