The AirTAC Airtac SCT80~100 Multi-Position Tandem Cylinder SCT80X50X10S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 50mm and 10mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 60mm total travel, with a Ø80mm bore, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCT80X50X10S is a tandem multi-position pneumatic cylinder that delivers four distinct, repeatable stop positions along its stroke: 0 mm (fully retracted), 10 mm, 50 mm, and the combined total travel of 60 mm. Each actuated piston section provides a robust push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for tasks requiring two different short extension depths from a single compact unit.
This model features an 80 mm bore with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 ports. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body has an A-length of 296 mm and uses an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 28 mm to manage end-of-stroke deceleration.

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) | 50 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 10 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 60 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 10 mm stroke for a partial gate opening to divert small items and the 50 mm stroke for a full opening to pass larger packages, all controlled from one cylinder.
Applies a label with a light 10 mm touch-down stroke, then follows with a 50 mm pressure stroke for full adhesion, ensuring precise placement without product damage.
Provides a 10 mm low-force pre-clamp to align a delicate part, followed by a 50 mm high-force stroke to securely lock it for machining or assembly.
Select the SCT80X50X10S when your application requires two distinct short extension lengths, such as a 10 mm pre-position and a 50 mm working stroke, without the complexity of two separate cylinders and valves. For a higher force per section, step up to the 100 mm bore (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N push. This unit is a direct replacement for another SCT80 with 50 mm and 10 mm strokes, PT ports, and a built-in magnet.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides 4 discrete mechanical stops. The rod positions are 0 mm (fully retracted), 10 mm (stroke 2 only), 50 mm (stroke 1 only), and 60 mm (both strokes extended).
Each of the two piston sections generates a push force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and a pull force of 2268 N. The force is per section and does not double when both are actuated simultaneously.
