The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT40X100X75 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 100mm and 75mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 175mm total travel, with a Ø40mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT40X100X75 is a tandem multi-position cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm, 75 mm, and the total travel of 175 mm. Each 40 mm bore section provides a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact solution for sequencing two distinct extend-and-retract operations on one machine axis.
Built on a robust tie-rod design with a 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, this cylinder uses adjustable air cushioning over a 21 mm length to decelerate the load smoothly at each stop. Its body length A(SCT) is 235 mm, and the per-section thrust rises to 1130 N at the maximum operating pressure of 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) | 100 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 75 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 175 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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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 100 mm and 175 mm positions to divert packages onto two separate conveyor lanes, with the 75 mm stop serving as an intermediate staging point.
Provides a 100 mm primary press stroke and a 75 mm secondary stroke for a total 175 mm insertion depth, ideal for assembling components with stepped features.
Advances parts in three controlled increments (75, 100, 175 mm) to align with different tooling stations on a linear transfer line.
Choose the SCT40X100X75 when you need to replace two separate 40 mm bore cylinders or an SC unit with external hard stops, saving space and simplifying the pneumatic circuit. If higher force is required, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, both strokes of 100 mm and 75 mm, PT thread, and basic mounting. A genuine AirTAC SCT of this exact configuration ensures the port layout and cushion performance are identical.
Multi-position checklist
It provides four discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm (section 1 extended), 75 mm (section 2 extended), and 175 mm (both sections extended). The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely variable.
Each 40 mm bore section delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force per section is 1130 N. The two sections do not combine their force for a single push.
