The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X75X50S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 50mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 125mm total travel, with a Ø50mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT50X75X50S is a double-acting multi-position tandem cylinder that delivers four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 50 mm, 75 mm, and the combined 125 mm total stroke. Each 50 mm bore section generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1767 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, driven through a 20 mm diameter piston rod with PT1/4 ports.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. The 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end helps manage end-of-stroke impact, and the body length A(SCT) is 243 mm. It is a genuine AirTAC unit, ideal for compact sorting or diverting tasks requiring three distinct extension points without complex servo controls.

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) | 75 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 50 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 0, 50, and 75 mm stops to direct parts into three separate chutes on a conveyor line, controlled by two 5/3 solenoid valves.
Provides two distinct pressing depths (50 mm and 75 mm) plus a retracted home position for loading, enabling a two-step forming process in one cycle.
Advances a tray or pallet to two precise intermediate positions (50 mm and 75 mm) for sequential assembly or inspection operations before reaching the full 125 mm extension.
Choose the SCT tandem cylinder when your application needs up to four discrete mechanical stops from a single pneumatic axis, avoiding the cost and plumbing of two separate cylinders with external brackets. This 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa; if you need higher force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore (SCT63 series, 1559 N push per section) is a direct option. For lighter, faster cycles, the 40 mm bore (628 N push) may be suitable.
As a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, both 75 mm and 50 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. The basic mounting configuration means no brackets are included, so order FA, FB, CA, CB, or LB mounts separately if needed. Note that the 75 mm stroke section is relatively short, so rod side-loading is minimal in standard horizontal applications.
Multi-position checklist
It provides 4 discrete mechanical stop positions: 0 mm (home), 50 mm (section 2 extended), 75 mm (section 1 extended), and 125 mm (both sections extended). These are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely adjustable.
Yes, it is a direct form-fit-function replacement for any AirTAC SCT50X75X50S. Ensure the replacement matches the 50 mm bore, 75 mm/50 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. The basic mounting style accepts the same FA/FB/CA/CB/LB accessories.
