The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X75X360S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 360mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 435mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X75X360S is a double-acting multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions from two independent piston sections on a single rod line. With strokes of 75 mm and 360 mm, the reachable stops are 0 mm (fully retracted), 75 mm, 360 mm, and the total travel of 435 mm. Each section provides a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light sorting and diverting tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the 12 mm diameter rod's barrel for position feedback. The tie-rod body has a length of 233 mm and features an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm at each end. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a maximum push thrust of 724 N per section at 0.9 MPa.

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) | 75 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 360 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 435 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.

Uses the four distinct positions (0, 75, 360, 435 mm) to route parts to four separate lanes on a conveyor, controlled by pressurizing the two cylinder sections independently or together.
Provides a shallow 75 mm press depth and a deeper 360 mm press depth from the same actuator, with the option to combine them for a full 435 mm stroke when needed.
Positions a tooling plate at three intermediate heights plus home, enabling a single compact cylinder to handle multiple assembly steps without tool changes.
An SCT cylinder replaces setups that would otherwise require two separate cylinders and external hard stops to achieve intermediate positions, simplifying plumbing and reducing footprint. For this 32 mm bore, if higher force is needed, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force per section at 0.5 MPa. When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, both the 75 mm and 360 mm strokes, the PT port thread, and the integrated magnet. Since the 360 mm section stroke exceeds 300 mm, ensure the rod is adequately guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending.
Multi-position checklist
This cylinder provides four discrete stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 75 mm, 360 mm, and 435 mm (the sum of both strokes). The positions are achieved by pressurizing the first section, the second section, or both sections simultaneously.
Yes, the SCT32X75X360S is designed to replace two separate 32 mm bore cylinders with 75 mm and 360 mm strokes. Ensure the replacement matches the PT port thread and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
