About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S
The SCT32X60X60S is a double-acting tandem cylinder that delivers three discrete rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 60 mm, and the combined 120 mm total travel. Each piston section generates a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, driven through a 12 mm diameter rod, making it a compact solution for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks.
The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. With a body length of 233 mm and a 21 mm adjustable air cushion, this genuine AirTAC unit provides reliable end-of-stroke deceleration for small-bore multi-stop applications.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 60 / 60 mm |
| Total travel | 120 mm |
| Stop positions | 3 positions |
| Acting type | Double acting (tandem, multi-position) |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| 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.
Stop Positions (3)
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 60 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 120 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S Is Used
3-Way Diverter Gates
Actuates a gate to three distinct positions—closed, partial bypass, and full flow—for routing small packages or materials on a conveyor line.
Two-Depth Pressing
Provides a partial-engage and full-engage stroke for light assembly presses, allowing a two-step insertion or crimping process with sensor confirmation at each stop.
Multi-Stop Pusher
Pushes products to one of two waiting lanes from a single infeed point, using the 60 mm and 120 mm stops to align with different conveyor widths.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT32X60X60S when a single cylinder must provide three fixed stopping points without the complexity of two separate actuators and external hard stops. If higher thrust is needed, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SCT series provides 628 N of push per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both 60 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option precisely; the basic mounting style requires no additional brackets. Ensure the load is guided if side forces are present, as the 12 mm rod is designed primarily for axial thrust.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 3 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 60 + 60 mm suit your layout?
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Plumb the two sections to the correct valves for each stop.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCT mounting accessory (FA / FB / CA / CB / LB).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X60X60S FAQ
It provides 3 distinct mechanical stop positions because both piston sections have an equal 60 mm stroke. The rod can be positioned at 0 mm (fully retracted), 60 mm (first section extended), and 120 mm (both sections extended).
No, the -S magnet is strictly for mounting external reed or solid-state sensors to detect piston position; it does not act as a brake or lock. If the load must be held at a stop without air pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
