The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X115X10S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 115mm and 10mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 125mm total travel, with a Ø50mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCT50X115X10S is a multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers four discrete rod stops: 0 mm, 10 mm, 115 mm, and the full 125 mm total travel. By pressurising either or both of its two 50 mm bore piston sections, you get repeatable mechanical positioning without complex servo controls. Each section provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 20 mm diameter rod and M16x1.5 rod thread for robust end connections.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A(SCT) is 243 mm, and the integrated air cushion is adjustable over a 21 mm length, ensuring smooth deceleration at each stop. It operates on standard 40 µm filtered air.

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) | 115 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 10 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 125 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 | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 partial gate opening and the 115 mm stroke for a full bypass, directing parts to three different lanes from a single conveyor point.
Performs a fast 115 mm approach stroke, then a final 10 mm controlled pressing stroke for inserting components to a precise depth in an assembly fixture.
Advances a part feeder 10 mm to separate a component, then 115 mm to push it into a nest, with the 125 mm total travel used for clearing a jam.
Choose the SCT50X115X10S when your application needs four fixed, repeatable positions without the cost of an electric actuator. The 115 mm and 10 mm stroke combination is ideal for a long primary travel with a short secondary positioning step. If you require more force, stepping up to the SCT63 bore provides 1559 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, both the 115 mm and 10 mm strokes, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. Note that the 115 mm stroke section is within the standard range and does not require special guiding.
Multi-position checklist
This 4-position cylinder provides stops at 0 mm (fully retracted), 10 mm, 115 mm, and 125 mm (fully extended). You achieve these by pressurising the 10 mm section, the 115 mm section, or both simultaneously.
The SCT tandem design guarantees fixed, repeatable mechanical stops in a single, compact body with one rod, eliminating the alignment and sequencing complexity of two separate cylinders. It also simplifies plumbing and sensor mounting, especially with the integrated -S magnet.
