The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X80X110S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 80mm and 110mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 190mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT32X80X110S is a tandem multi-position cylinder that provides four fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 80 mm, 110 mm, and the total travel of 190 mm. Each of its two piston sections generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact solution for light-duty sorting or diverting tasks that need more than two end stops.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for position confirmation. The 12 mm diameter rod and PT1/8 ports keep the unit lightweight, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end section helps manage deceleration across all four stop positions.

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) | 80 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 110 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 190 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.

Actuate a diverter gate to four distinct positions for routing packages or materials on a conveyor line, using the 0, 80, 110, and 190 mm stops.
Control a press head to two different working depths (80 mm and 110 mm) plus a safe retracted position, ideal for assembly operations requiring varied insertion forces.
Sequence a feeder mechanism through four precise positions to separate and present components, with sensor feedback enabled by the built-in magnet.
Choose the SCT when your application requires up to four discrete mechanical stops without the complexity of servo control or multiple individual cylinders. This 32 mm bore unit is ideal where space is tight; if you need more push force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N per section at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For replacement, match the bore, both strokes (80 mm and 110 mm), the PT port thread, and the built-in magnet. Since the total travel is 190 mm, ensure the rod is guided if significant side loads are present.
Multi-position checklist
This cylinder provides four discrete mechanical stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 80 mm, 110 mm, and 190 mm (total travel). The positions are achieved by pressurizing the first section, the second section, or both simultaneously.
Yes, it can replace two separate 32 mm bore cylinders with 80 mm and 110 mm strokes, provided the mounting is basic and the unit has a magnet. It simplifies plumbing and guarantees the relative positioning of the two strokes in a single, compact tandem body.
