About the Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X50X50S
The SCT100X50X50S is a tandem multi-position pneumatic cylinder providing three defined rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 50 mm, and the total combined travel of 100 mm. Each of its two piston sections generates a powerful 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, driven through a rigid 25 mm diameter rod, making it ideal for heavy-duty sorting or two-stage clamping where intermediate and full-extension stops are required.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing easy attachment of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly to the tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. With an operating pressure up to 1.0 MPa, a single section can achieve a theoretical thrust of 7068 N, and the body length is 308 mm plus stroke. It uses a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm to decelerate the 100 mm total travel smoothly.

| Model | Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X50X50S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 50 / 50 mm |
| Total travel | 100 mm |
| Stop positions | 3 positions |
| Acting type | Double acting (tandem, multi-position) |
| Port size | PT1/2 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 29 mm |
| Max stroke / section | Up to 500 mm standard |
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.
Stop Positions (3)
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 50 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 100 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X50X50S Is Used
Two-Stage Heavy Part Clamping
Uses the 50 mm stop for a low-force pre-clamp and the full 100 mm stroke for final high-force clamping, preventing damage to delicate large castings.
3-Position Diverter Gate
Positions a chute gate at closed (0 mm), divert to lane A (50 mm), or divert to lane B (100 mm) for routing heavy packages on a conveyor line.
Multi-Depth Pressing
Provides two controlled pressing depths in a single cycle, such as a shallow 50 mm pre-form and a full 100 mm final compaction stroke in a waste compactor.
Is the Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X50X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT100X50X50S when a single cylinder must provide two distinct extended positions without the complexity of two separate actuators and external stops. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SCT80 series offers 2513 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa, which can reduce air consumption and physical footprint. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, both 50 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and the integrated magnet; this unit is a basic mount configuration, so ensure your machine frame provides the primary support. The short 50 mm strokes per section keep the rod well-supported, minimizing side-load risk.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 3 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 50 + 50 mm suit your layout?
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Plumb the two sections to the correct valves for each stop.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCT mounting accessory (FA / FB / CA / CB / LB).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT100X50X50S FAQ
It provides three distinct mechanical stops because both section strokes are equal at 50 mm. The rod positions are 0 mm (fully retracted), 50 mm, and 100 mm (fully extended).
Yes, if your sequence requires only the 50 mm and 100 mm stop positions. This tandem cylinder replaces the two actuators, mounting hardware, and flow controls, but you must ensure the single-section force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient for each stop, as the force does not double.
