The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X50X75S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 50mm and 75mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 125mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCT32X50X75S is a tie-rod multi-position cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions—0 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and the combined 125 mm—by independently pressurising its two piston sections. Each section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 12 mm diameter rod and PT1/8 ports. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG sensors for position feedback.
With a body length A of 233 mm and 21 mm of adjustable air cushion at each end, this 32 mm bore tandem unit is ideal for compact sorting or diverting stations where multiple mechanical stops are needed without complex controls. The discrete stop positions are fixed by the stroke lengths, providing repeatable, reliable positioning in a single actuator package.

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) | 75 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 125 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 a diverter gate at four distinct angles (0, 50, 75, 125 mm) to route packages down different conveyor lanes, using the built-in magnet for gate position confirmation.
Provides two controlled pressing depths (50 mm and 75 mm) plus full retraction and full extension (125 mm) for a two-step assembly or staking operation.
Advances parts in a magazine with a three-step push sequence: a 50 mm pre-feed, a 75 mm main feed, and a combined 125 mm final ejection stroke, all from one compact cylinder.
Choose the SCT32 tandem when your application requires up to four distinct end-of-stroke positions from a single pneumatic circuit, eliminating the cost and complexity of two separate cylinders with external stops. If higher force is needed, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SCT40 provides 628 N of push per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both strokes (50 mm and 75 mm), PT port thread, and the -S magnet option; basic mounting is standard. Note that for combined strokes exceeding 300 mm, consider external guides to protect the 12 mm rod from side loads.
Multi-position checklist
This model provides 4 discrete stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 50 mm (section 1 extended), 75 mm (section 2 extended), and 125 mm (both sections extended, which is the sum of the two strokes).
Yes, if your sequence requires fixed 50 mm and 75 mm strokes. The SCT32X50X75S combines both into one tie-rod body, reducing mounting hardware and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate actuators. Ensure your mounting interface and porting (PT1/8) match.
