The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X210X200S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 210mm and 200mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 410mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X210X200S is a tie-rod tandem cylinder that delivers four distinct rod positions—0 mm, 210 mm, 200 mm, and 410 mm total travel—by pressurising its two piston sections independently or together. Each 32 mm bore section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 12 mm diameter rod and M10x1.25 rod-end thread for precise tooling attachment.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or intermediate position sensing. With a 21 mm adjustable air cushion on each section and a body length of 233 mm plus strokes, it handles speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, making it a compact solution for multi-stop sorting or feeding tasks where electronic feedback is required.

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) | 210 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 200 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 410 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.

Uses the 200 mm and 210 mm mid-positions to route parts to two separate downstream lanes, with the full 410 mm stroke acting as a reject or third-lane divert.
Presses a component to a shallow 200 mm depth, then a deeper 210 mm depth, with the 410 mm position for part ejection or tool change clearance.
Controls a gate at three open positions (200, 210, 410 mm) to meter different product sizes onto a conveyor, with magnetic sensors confirming each gate position.
Choose the SCT32X210X200S when your process needs four fixed mechanical stops without the complexity of servo drives. The unequal strokes give you two closely spaced mid-positions at 200 mm and 210 mm, plus a full 410 mm extension, ideal for two-depth insertion or a divert-and-extend sequence. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both strokes (210 mm and 200 mm), the PT port thread, and the built-in magnet. Since the longer 210 mm stroke section extends past 200 mm, ensure the rod is adequately guided if significant side loads are present; an external guide or rod support may be needed to prevent bending in fully extended multi-stop applications.
Multi-position checklist
This cylinder provides four discrete rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), the first section extended (210 mm), the second section extended (200 mm), and both sections extended together for a total travel of 410 mm. The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are selected by pressurising the appropriate air ports.
Yes, in many cases it can. The SCT32X210X200S combines two strokes on a single common rod, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronise two separate cylinders. For a compatible replacement, ensure the bore, both stroke lengths (210 mm and 200 mm), the PT port thread, and the built-in magnet match your existing SCT unit.
