The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT40X110X10S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 110mm and 10mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 120mm total travel, with a Ø40mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT40X110X10S is a double-acting multi-position cylinder that provides four distinct rod positions from its two piston sections: 0 mm, 10 mm, 110 mm, and the total travel of 120 mm. Each section delivers a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a capable actuator for tasks requiring a short, precise first stop and a longer second advance.
This genuine AirTAC unit features a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on its tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position detection. The 40 mm bore model uses a 16 mm diameter rod with M12x1.25 threads and PT1/4 ports, with a body length of 235 mm plus the combined stroke.

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) | 110 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 10 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 120 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 10 mm stroke for a low-force initial contact, then the 110 mm stroke applies full pressure, preventing damage to delicate parts.
The four positions divert items to separate lanes, with sensors on the magnet-equipped barrel confirming each stop for the controller.
Achieves two different insertion or forming depths in one cycle, with the 10 mm stop acting as a precise gauging position before the full 120 mm travel.
Choosing the SCT40X110X10S over two separate cylinders or an SC with external stops simplifies the circuit to a single actuator with fixed, repeatable stopping points. If your application needs more force, the 50 mm bore SCT provides 982 N of push per section at the same pressure. For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, both the 110 mm and 10 mm strokes, the PT port thread, and the integrated magnet; the basic mount offers flexibility for custom bracketry.
Multi-position checklist
The rod stops at 0 mm (fully retracted), 10 mm (first section extended), 110 mm (second section extended), and 120 mm (both sections extended). The strokes are unequal, giving four distinct positions.
Yes, the built-in magnet designated by the 'S' in the model code makes it compatible with AirTAC's CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series sensors, which clamp directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel.
