The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X10X100S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 10mm and 100mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 110mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X10X100S is a tandem multi-position cylinder providing four distinct rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 10 mm, 100 mm, and 110 mm (total travel). Each piston section delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks where two different short-throw actions are needed from one compact unit.
This model includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 12 mm diameter rod and M10x1.25 rod-end thread ensure reliable connection, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the load smoothly. The body length A(SCT) is 233 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) | 10 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 100 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 110 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 | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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 and 100 mm positions to divert small parts to two separate lanes on a conveyor, triggered by sensor feedback.
Applies a light tack-down press at 10 mm and a full-pressure seating stroke at 100 mm for adhesive labels on packaging.
Ejects a component in two steps: a 10 mm break-free push followed by a 100 mm full-clearance stroke to drop the part.
Choose the SCT32X10X100S when you need two different short, discrete strokes from a single tie-rod cylinder body, avoiding the complexity of two separate actuators. If your application requires slightly higher force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N of push force per section at the same pressure. For replacement, ensure you match the 32 mm bore, both the 10 mm and 100 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the integrated magnet (-S suffix).
Multi-position checklist
It provides four discrete stop positions: 0 mm (retracted), 10 mm, 100 mm, and the combined total of 110 mm. These are achieved by pressurizing the two piston sections independently or together.
The force is generated per single piston section. At 0.5 MPa, you get 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force from each section. The force does not double when both sections are actuated.
