The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X50X25 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 50mm and 25mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 75mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X50X25 tandem cylinder provides four fixed rod positions—0 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, and 75 mm—by pressurising one or both of its 50 mm and 25 mm stroke sections. Each section delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for light sorting or diverting tasks where a compact 32 mm bore is required.
The 12 mm diameter rod and 21 mm air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the 233 mm tie-rod body length keeps the assembly rigid. At 0.9 MPa, thrust per section reaches 724 N, offering a genuine AirTAC solution for multi-stop feeding mechanisms.

| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 50 / 25 mm |
| Total travel | 75 mm |
| Stop positions | 4 positions |
| Acting type | Double acting (tandem, multi-position) |

| 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) | 50 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 25 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 75 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.

Positions at 0, 25, 50, and 75 mm allow a blade or flap to direct parts into four separate chutes on a packaging line.
Applies labels at two different insertion depths (25 mm and 50 mm) with a fully retracted home and a 75 mm clearance position for maintenance.
Advances components in precise 25 mm increments, with a 50 mm rapid-advance stroke, giving four programmable feed lengths from a single actuator.
Choose the SCT32X50X25 when your application needs four distinct mechanical stops without the complexity of two separate cylinders and external hard stops. If higher force is needed, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N of push per section at the same pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both the 50 mm and 25 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting. Any deviation in stroke lengths will alter the position set.
Multi-position checklist
It provides four discrete mechanical stops: fully retracted (0 mm), first section extended (25 mm), second section extended (50 mm), and both sections extended (75 mm total travel).
Yes, if your sequence requires the rod to stop at 0, 25, 50, and 75 mm. The SCT achieves this with one body, reducing mounting hardware and alignment complexity compared to two individual cylinders.
