About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S
The SCT32X130X100S is a double-acting multi-position cylinder that delivers four distinct rod positions from its tandem piston layout: 0 mm, 100 mm, 130 mm, and the full combined travel of 230 mm. Each 32 mm bore section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 12 mm diameter rod and PT1/8 ports, making it a compact solution for light-duty sorting tasks.
A built-in magnet is integrated into the piston, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The cylinder body has a 233 mm base length and uses a 21 mm air cushion to decelerate the load quietly at each stop.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 130 / 100 mm |
| Total travel | 230 mm |
| Stop positions | 4 positions |
| Acting type | Double acting (tandem, multi-position) |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| 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, 21 mm |
| Max stroke / section | Up to 500 mm standard |
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.
Stop Positions (4)
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 130 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 100 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 230 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S Is Used
Two-Stage Diverter Gate
Uses the 100 mm and 130 mm positions to route packages to separate conveyor lanes, with the full 230 mm extension clearing a reject chute.
Multi-Depth Label Applicator
The four discrete stops allow a tamp pad to apply labels at two different product heights and a standby retracted position, all from one compact actuator.
Sequential Part Feeding
Advances components in two controlled steps (100 mm then an additional 30 mm) for a two-stage pressing or insertion operation, with sensor confirmation at each stop via the built-in magnet.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT32X130X100S when your process needs four fixed stopping points without the complexity of servo controls or multiple single-stroke cylinders. The 130 mm and 100 mm strokes create an asymmetric position set ideal for two-step feeding or diverting. If higher force is required, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both strokes (130 mm and 100 mm), PT thread, and the -S magnet option; this model uses a basic mount with no attached brackets.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 4 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 130 + 100 mm suit your layout?
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Plumb the two sections to the correct valves for each stop.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCT mounting accessory (FA / FB / CA / CB / LB).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X130X100S FAQ
It provides four discrete mechanical stops: fully retracted (0 mm), the first section extended (100 mm), the second section extended (130 mm), and both sections extended for the total travel of 230 mm. The asymmetric strokes give two different intermediate positions.
Yes, the tandem SCT design integrates two piston sections on a single rod line, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate cylinders. Ensure the replacement matches the 32 mm bore, 130 mm and 100 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
