The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X25X25H is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 25mm and 25mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 50mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X25X25H is a tandem multi-position cylinder that delivers three fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 25 mm, and the total travel of 50 mm. Each 32 mm bore section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks in high-temperature environments.
This variant is equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for use near ovens or in hot-air circuits. The 12 mm diameter rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth, controlled stops at all three positions. The body length A is 233 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) | 25 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 50 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.

Directs small components exiting a curing oven into one of two lanes using the 25 mm and 50 mm extended positions, with seals rated for continuous 150°C exposure.
Provides a partial eject at 25 mm for inspection and a full eject at 50 mm for part removal in automated assembly cells.
Sets two precise insertion depths for a heated tool in a blister packaging machine, leveraging the fixed mechanical stops for repeatability.
Choose the SCT when a single compact unit must provide three discrete mechanical stops without the complexity of two separate cylinders and external hard stops. The 32 mm bore is ideal for light push forces; if you need more thrust, step up to the SCT40 (628 N push per section at 0.5 MPa). For direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both 25 mm strokes, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the high-temperature Viton seal code 'H'.
Multi-position checklist
It provides three distinct mechanical stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 25 mm (first section extended), and 50 mm (both sections extended, total travel).
No. Like all standard pneumatic cylinders, the SCT does not lock its position. If the load must be held without live pressure, an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is required.
