The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT80X125X50S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 125mm and 50mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 175mm total travel, with a Ø80mm bore, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCT80X125X50S is a tandem double-acting cylinder delivering four fixed rod positions: 0 mm, 125 mm, 50 mm, and a total extended length of 175 mm. Each piston section generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for tasks requiring two different intermediate stops without complex servo controls.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the 296 mm tie-rod body for precise position feedback. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT3/8 ports handle flow efficiently, while the 28 mm air cushion at each end provides adjustable deceleration.

|---|---|
| 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, 28 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) | 125 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 50 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 175 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.

Uses the 125 mm and 50 mm strokes to divert parts to two different conveyor lanes from a single retracted home position.
Achieves a shallow 50 mm press depth and a deeper 125 mm depth in sequence, controlled by pressurizing each section independently.
Pushes components to two distinct positions at 125 mm and 175 mm total travel for a two-step assembly process.
Choose the SCT80 bore when your application needs a push force around 2513 N per section at standard plant pressure. If a higher force is required, stepping up to the SCT100 bore provides 3927 N per section. For replacement, match the 80 mm bore, both the 125 mm and 50 mm strokes, the PT port thread, and the integrated magnet sensor option. Since the total travel is 175 mm, ensure the rod is supported if side loads are present during extension.
Multi-position checklist
It provides four discrete positions: fully retracted at 0 mm, an intermediate stop at 50 mm, another at 125 mm, and full extension at 175 mm. These are fixed by the two different stroke lengths.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series reed or solid-state sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod body.
