The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT32X95X45 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 95mm and 45mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 140mm total travel, with a Ø32mm bore, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
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.

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) | 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.
| 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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
