The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X65X30S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 65mm and 30mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 95mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X65X30S tandem cylinder delivers four discrete rod positions—0 mm, 30 mm, 65 mm, and 95 mm—from two independent piston sections on a single 12 mm rod. Each section generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact solution for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks where multiple mechanical stops are needed.
A built-in magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or intermediate position confirmation. The body length A is 233 mm with a 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, and the PT1/8 ports keep the footprint small for integration into tight machine envelopes.

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) | 65 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 30 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 95 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 flap at 0°, 30°, 65°, or 95° of linear travel to route packages down four separate conveyor lanes from one infeed point.
Extends a tamp pad to 30 mm for shallow containers or 95 mm for deep cartons, with a 65 mm intermediate position for mid-sized products, all from one compact actuator.
Pushes rejected parts off a line at 65 mm for a side chute or 95 mm for a rear bin, while the 30 mm position provides a gentle nudge for repositioning without ejection.
Choose the SCT32X65X30S when a single cylinder must provide four fixed stop points without the complexity of two separate actuators and external hard stops. If the 402 N push force per section is marginal, stepping up to the SCT40 series provides 628 N per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, both strokes (65 mm and 30 mm), PT thread, and the built-in magnet; this model uses a basic mount, so any mounting brackets must be ordered separately if needed.
Multi-position checklist
The rod stops at four discrete positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 30 mm, 65 mm, and the total travel of 95 mm. These are fixed by the two section strokes and selected by pressurizing section one, section two, or both simultaneously.
Yes, in applications requiring three or four fixed mechanical stops. The SCT32X65X30S provides the same 402 N push force per section as a standard SC32 but integrates both strokes on one rod line, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate actuators.
