About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X15X15
The SCT32X15X15 is a double-acting tandem cylinder that provides three fixed rod positions: fully retracted, 15 mm, and 30 mm total travel. Each piston section delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light sorting or diverting tasks where two distinct extended stops are needed from a compact 32 mm bore package.
With a 12 mm diameter rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, the cylinder integrates PT1/8 ports and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. The tie-rod body has a base length of 233 mm, offering a rigid structure for fixture mounting in tight automation cells.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X15X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X15X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 15 / 15 mm |
| Total travel | 30 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) | 15 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 30 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 SCT32X15X15 Is Used
Two-Way Part Sorting
Directs small components to one of two lanes by extending the rod to 15 mm or the full 30 mm, simplifying pneumatic diverting stations.
Dual-Depth Staking
Provides a light 15 mm pre-press and a full 30 mm final insertion stroke for assembling delicate electronic connectors.
Multi-Stop Fixture Clamp
Applies a 15 mm partial clamp for positioning, then a 30 mm full clamp for machining, all from one compact tandem cylinder.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X15X15 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT32X15X15 when a single actuator must provide two repeatable extended positions without the complexity of dual cylinders and external hard stops. If higher force is required, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push per section at the same pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both 15 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration exactly.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 3 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 15 + 15 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 SCT32X15X15 FAQ
It provides 3 discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (retracted), 15 mm (first section extended), and 30 mm (both sections extended). The stops are fixed by the two 15 mm piston sections.
Yes, it replaces two individually mounted cylinders with a single tandem body, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate actuators. Ensure the porting and mounting match your machine layout.
