Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132
The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 132mm and 132mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 264mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132
The SCT32X132X132 is a double-acting multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers three fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), mid-stroke (132 mm), and full extension (264 mm). Each piston section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact solution for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks requiring repeatable intermediate stops.
Built on a tie-rod design with a 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, this 32 mm bore unit uses PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end (21 mm length) decelerates the load smoothly, while the 233 mm body length A(SCT) helps fit it into confined machine envelopes.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 132 / 132 mm |
| Total travel | 264 mm |
| Stop positions | 3 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 (3)
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 132 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 264 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 SCT32X132X132 Is Used
3-Position Diverter Gates
Actuates a conveyor gate to three set points—closed, partial divert, and full divert—using the 0, 132, and 264 mm stroke positions for reliable package routing.
Two-Depth Part Stamping
Provides a shallow 132 mm approach for marking and a full 264 mm travel for punching or forming, all from one compact tandem cylinder on a small assembly press.
Multi-Stop Pallet Indexing
Indexes a light pallet through three stations by extending the rod to 132 mm for stop one and 264 mm for stop two, simplifying pneumatic sequencing for inline processes.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X132X132 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT32X132X132 when your application needs three distinct stopping points without the complexity of servo controls or multiple single-stroke cylinders. If the 402 N push force per section is marginal, stepping up to a 40 mm bore SCT40X132X132 provides 628 N per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both 132 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting. If your existing unit has a magnet, ensure the new code carries the -S suffix.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 3 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 132 + 132 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 SCT32X132X132 FAQ
It provides three distinct mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 132 mm (first section extended), and 264 mm (both sections extended). Since both stroke sections are equal, the mid and full-extension positions are evenly spaced.
Yes, if your task needs three fixed positions. The SCT32X132X132 integrates two piston sections on one rod line, eliminating the need to mount and synchronize two separate 32 mm bore cylinders. Ensure the replacement matches the 132 mm strokes, PT ports, and basic mounting configuration.
