The SCT Series Standard Cylinder (Tie-Rod / Multi-Position Type) is designed for pneumatic applications requiring multiple stopping positions within a single stroke. By combining reliable tie-rod construction with multi-position functionality, the cylinder helps simplify mechanical designs and reduce the need for additional positioning devices.
The piston rod can stop at several predefined positions throughout its travel, making the SCT Series suitable for automated handling, sorting, transfer systems, assembly equipment, and positioning applications. Featuring a compact structure, adjustable cushioning, and advanced sealing technology, the cylinder delivers stable performance, long service life, and smooth operation in demanding industrial environments.
Multiple mounting options and high-temperature sealing materials are available to meet various automation requirements.
The SCT Series Multi-Position Cylinder is designed for applications where a single cylinder must achieve multiple stopping points during one operating cycle. Compared with conventional pneumatic cylinders that only provide end-position movement, the SCT Series allows intermediate positioning, helping improve machine flexibility while reducing system complexity.

Unlike standard cylinders that only stop at fully extended or fully retracted positions, the SCT Series can achieve several intermediate positions along the piston rod travel.
This design allows a single actuator to perform multiple motion tasks, reducing the number of cylinders and mechanical components required in the machine. As a result, equipment designers can simplify system layouts while improving positioning efficiency.

Multi-position piston rod movement allows several stopping points within a single stroke.

The ability to stop at different positions provides greater flexibility for automated production equipment. In material handling, assembly, and transfer systems, the cylinder can perform sequential positioning operations without requiring additional actuators.
This feature helps reduce installation space, simplify pneumatic circuits, and improve overall machine efficiency.

The piston adopts a heterogeneous two-way sealing structure with grease retention capability. This design helps maintain stable sealing performance throughout repeated cycling operations while reducing friction between moving components.
By retaining lubrication more effectively, the sealing system minimizes wear and contributes to longer maintenance intervals and improved operational reliability.
For demanding operating environments, optional high-temperature sealing materials are available for temperatures up to 150°C.

To improve motion control and protect connected equipment, the SCT Series incorporates an adjustable cushioning system. The cushioning effect can be fine-tuned according to operating speed and load conditions, allowing smooth deceleration at each stroke end.
This helps reduce impact loads, minimize vibration, and extend the service life of both the cylinder and surrounding machine components.

The SCT Series supports a wide range of mounting methods to accommodate different equipment designs and installation requirements. Various mounting accessories are available to simplify machine integration and maintenance.
The tie-rod construction securely connects the cylinder barrel and end covers, providing excellent structural strength and long-term operational stability even in demanding industrial environments.
