About the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X64X26
The SCT50X64X26 tandem cylinder delivers four fixed rod positions—0 mm, 64 mm, 26 mm, and the full 90 mm extension—by pressurizing its two piston sections independently. Each 50 mm bore section generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for diverting or sorting tasks that need distinct, repeatable stopping points without complex controls.
Built on a rugged tie-rod design with a 20 mm diameter rod and M16x1.5 rod thread, this model includes a 21 mm adjustable air cushion in each section to decelerate the load quietly. The body length A(SCT) is 243 mm, and the PT1/4 ports accept standard pneumatic fittings. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa across a -20 to +70 °C range.
Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X64X26 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X64X26 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCT multi-position tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke 1 / Stroke 2 | 64 / 26 mm |
| Total travel | 90 mm |
| Stop positions | 4 positions |
| Acting type | Double acting (tandem, multi-position) |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M16×1.5 |
| 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) | 64 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 26 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 90 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 (Ø50mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X64X26 Is Used
Two-Way Part Diverting
Use the 26 mm and 64 mm positions to guide parts into two separate chutes from a single conveyor lane, with the 90 mm full extension clearing the lane entirely.
Multi-Depth Stop Gate
Actuate the rod to 26 mm for a partial gate opening and 64 mm for a wider pass-through, controlling material flow in a hopper or chute without needing two separate actuators.
Staged Clamping Fixture
Apply a light pre-clamp at the 26 mm stroke before driving to the full 90 mm travel for final high-force clamping, protecting delicate workpieces during automated assembly.
Is the Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X64X26 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCT when your process requires two or more hard stops that must be mechanically fixed and highly repeatable, eliminating the cost and complexity of servo axes or multiple single-stroke cylinders with external stops. This 50 mm bore suits mid-range pushing and clamping; if you need more force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, both strokes (64 mm and 26 mm), PT port thread, and basic mounting style. Should your application require sensor feedback, order the same model with the -S magnet option to mount CMSG or DMSG switches directly on the tie-rod barrel.
Multi-position checklist
- ✓ Need 4 repeatable stops?
- ✓ Section strokes 64 + 26 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 SCT50X64X26 FAQ
This model provides four discrete mechanical stop positions: fully retracted (0 mm), the first section extended (64 mm), the second section extended (26 mm), and both sections extended for the total travel of 90 mm. The stops are fixed by the cylinder's internal structure, not programmable.
Yes, if your sequence requires two fixed intermediate positions plus full retract and full extend. The SCT combines both strokes on a single rod line, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate cylinders. Ensure the replacement matches the 50 mm bore, 64 mm and 26 mm strokes, PT port thread, and your required mounting accessories.
