The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X200X50 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 200mm and 50mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 250mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X200X50 is a tandem multi-position cylinder that provides four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 50 mm, 200 mm, and the total travel of 250 mm. By pressurising either the 200 mm section, the 50 mm section, or both, you gain three distinct extended stops from a single compact unit. Each piston section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light sorting and diverting tasks.
Built on a 32 mm bore tie-rod body with a 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, this cylinder includes a 21 mm adjustable air cushion in each section for controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. The PT1/8 port connections and standard TPU seals suit general industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

| 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 |

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) | 200 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 50 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. |

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 50 mm stroke for a partial-open divert position and the full 250 mm travel for a bypass lane in a conveyor sorting system.
Applies labels at two different pressing depths (50 mm and 200 mm) on a single product line, eliminating the need for tooling changes.
Advances parts to a 50 mm pre-stop for inspection, then extends to 200 mm for final placement into an assembly nest.
Select the SCT32X200X50 when your application requires two fixed intermediate stops without the complexity of external hard stops or servo control. The 200 mm and 50 mm stroke combination is ideal for a long primary travel with a short secondary position. If higher force is needed, consider stepping up to the SCT40 bore, which provides 628 N of push per section at the same pressure. For direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both 200 mm and 50 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting style.
Multi-position checklist
It provides 4 discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (retracted), 50 mm, 200 mm, and the combined total of 250 mm. You select the position by pressurising the 50 mm section, the 200 mm section, or both simultaneously.
Only if you need the specific multi-position functionality. The SCT32X200X50 replaces another AirTAC SCT of identical bore (32 mm), both stroke sections (200 mm and 50 mm), PT thread, and basic mounting. It is not a direct drop-in for a single-stroke SC cylinder.
