The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT80X100X200S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 100mm and 200mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 300mm total travel, with a Ø80mm bore, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT80X100X200S is a tie-rod, multi-position tandem cylinder that provides four distinct mechanical stops along its 300 mm total stroke. By pressurising its two piston sections independently or together, the 25 mm diameter rod can be precisely positioned at 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm, 200 mm, or the full 300 mm extension, enabling complex sequencing without external hard stops.
Each 80 mm bore section generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 4523 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. The body length A(SCT) is 296 mm.

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) | 100 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 200 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 300 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 | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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.

Direct packages or components to four separate conveyor lanes by stopping the rod at 0, 100, 200, or 300 mm, each position aligning a chute or gate for high-speed sorting.
Perform a two-stage assembly operation with one cylinder. The first 100 mm stroke can locate a part, and the second 200 mm stroke applies final pressing force, with sensor confirmation at each discrete stop.
Control a workpiece escapement mechanism to release parts at three different intervals. The rod stops at 100, 200, and 300 mm to meter components into a process with precise, repeatable spacing.
Select the SCT80X100X200S when an application requires a compact, single-cylinder solution for four-position material handling, replacing the complexity and plumbing of two separate cylinders with external stops. If the per-section force is insufficient, stepping up to the 100 mm bore SCT100 series provides 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter load, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N.
As a direct replacement, match the 80 mm bore, both the 100 mm and 200 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. With a 200 mm section stroke, ensure the rod is adequately guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending, especially near full extension.
Multi-position checklist
This 4-position tandem cylinder stops at 0 mm (retracted), 100 mm, 200 mm, and the total travel of 300 mm. The positions are achieved by pressurising the first section, the second section, or both simultaneously.
Yes, it is a direct replacement for a two-cylinder setup where you need stops at 100 mm and 300 mm. Ensure the replacement matches the 80 mm bore, both the 100 mm and 200 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
