The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X25X350S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 25mm and 350mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 375mm total travel, with a Ø100mm bore, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT100X25X350S is a 100 mm bore multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 25 mm, 350 mm, and the combined total travel of 375 mm. 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 that require two distinct extended stops.
This model includes a built-in magnetic piston ring, designated by the 'S' suffix, allowing for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. The cylinder body has an A(SCT) length of 308 mm and uses a 25 mm diameter rod with M20x1.5 threads, providing robust guidance for the 375 mm total stroke.

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) | 25 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 350 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 375 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.

A 25 mm initial stroke positions a clamp near the workpiece, and a subsequent 350 mm stroke applies full clamping force, preventing collision with tall fixtures.
The rod extends to 25 mm to nudge a part onto a branch line or to 350 mm to push it fully across a main conveyor, enabling 3-lane sorting from one actuator.
Performs a shallow 25 mm pre-press for alignment, then a deep 350 mm insertion stroke for final assembly, all with sensor-confirmed position verification via the built-in magnet.
Choose the SCT100X25X350S when your application needs a compact, single-axis solution to achieve two different extended positions, such as a primary advance and a secondary offset, without the complexity of two separate cylinders and their mounting hardware. If the 3927 N push force per section at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, stepping down to an 80 mm bore SCT reduces the per-section force to 2513 N. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, both the 25 mm and 350 mm strokes, the PT port thread, and the integrated magnet feature.
Multi-position checklist
This 4-position cylinder stops at 0 mm (fully retracted), 25 mm, 350 mm, and the total combined stroke of 375 mm. The positions are achieved by pressurizing the first section, the second section, or both simultaneously.
The SCT tandem cylinder provides two discrete extended stops on a single common rod line, which saves significant space and eliminates the need to synchronize two separate actuators. It is ideal for applications requiring different stroke lengths from the same mounting point, but it does not double the force output; each section provides the standard 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
