About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X95X45
The SCT32X95X45 is a tandem multi-position cylinder that provides four fixed rod positions from two independently controlled piston sections. By pressurising the 45 mm and 95 mm stroke sections separately or together, you get exact stops at 0 mm (fully retracted), 45 mm, 95 mm, and the full 140 mm total travel.
Each 32 mm bore section generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 724 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The 12 mm diameter rod and PT1/8 ports keep the unit compact, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provides smooth deceleration. The body length A is 233 mm.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X95X45 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X95X45 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 95 / 45 mm |
| Total travel | 140 mm |
| Stop positions | 4 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 (4)
| Position | Rod extension |
|---|---|
| P0 (retracted) | 0 mm |
| P1 (section 1) | 95 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 45 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 140 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 SCT32X95X45 Is Used
Diverter Gate Actuation
Controls a three-way diverter gate on a compact conveyor, using the 45 mm and 95 mm positions to route packages to different lanes, with 0 mm as the home position.
Multi-Stop Clamping
Applies two distinct clamping pressures or jaw openings for different part sizes in a small assembly fixture, using the 45 mm stop for delicate parts and the 140 mm total travel for larger components.
Staged Part Feeding
Advances a pusher plate in two controlled steps—first a 45 mm pre-feed to separate a part from a stack, then a further 95 mm stroke to place it into a nest.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X95X45 the Right Cylinder?
This model suits applications needing three intermediate positions without the complexity of two separate cylinders and external hard stops. If your load demands more thrust, consider stepping up to the SCT40 series, where each section pushes with 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, the exact 95 mm and 45 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting. Since the 95 mm stroke section is relatively long for this small rod diameter, ensure the load is guided if there is any significant side force to prevent rod bending.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 4 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 95 + 45 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 SCT32X95X45 FAQ
It provides four distinct mechanical stop positions because the two strokes are different lengths. The rod positions are 0 mm (fully retracted), 45 mm, 95 mm, and 140 mm (both sections extended).
Yes, it is a direct functional replacement for two individual cylinders that were used to achieve the same 45 mm and 95 mm stroke positions, offering a more compact, single-body solution. Ensure the replacement matches the 32 mm bore, both strokes, PT ports, and basic mounting.
