The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X150X100S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 150mm and 100mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 250mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X150X100S provides four fixed rod positions—0 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, and 250 mm total travel—by pressurising two 32 mm bore piston sections in sequence. Each section delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa), driven through a 12 mm diameter rod with PT1/8 ports and a 21 mm air cushion.
An integrated magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for position feedback at each stop. With a 233 mm body length and TPU seals for -20 to +70 °C operation, this genuine AirTAC unit suits compact multi-stop handling where electronic sensing is required.

|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 150 / 100 mm |
| Total travel | 250 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.
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 150 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 100 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 250 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.
| SCT | Multi-position (tandem) tie-rod cylinder series. |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (SCT range 32–100). |
| ×150 | Stroke 1 (section 1) in mm. |
| ×100 | Stroke 2 (section 2) in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
Related types: SC (single rod), SCD (double rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke). SCT mounting: Basic, FA, FB, CA, CB, LB. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Uses the 100 mm and 150 mm stops to route packages to two separate conveyor lanes from a single infeed point.
Pushes components to a shallow 100 mm pre-insertion depth or a full 150 mm seating depth in a two-stage assembly press.
Ejects parts to a 100 mm intermediate bin for QC sampling or a 150 mm final bin for pass products, controlled by sensor-confirmed position.
Choose this 4-position tandem when a single cylinder must deliver two different intermediate stops without the complexity of two separate actuators. For lighter loads, the same 32 mm bore provides 345 N pulling force per section; if you need more thrust, stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SCT40) gives 628 N push per section at the same pressure. Ensure the 150 mm and 100 mm stroke sections align with your stop requirements.
For replacement, match the SCT32 bore, both strokes (150 mm and 100 mm), PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. Since the longer section exceeds 100 mm, check side-load alignment and consider external guides if the rod is subjected to off-axis forces.
Multi-position checklist
It has four discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm (second section extended), 150 mm (first section extended), and 250 mm (both sections extended).
Only if your application specifically needs the four fixed stops. It replaces an existing AirTAC SCT32 with 150 mm and 100 mm strokes, PT ports, and a magnet. It is not a direct functional swap for a standard single-stroke SC cylinder.
