The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT50X75X75S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 75mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 150mm total travel, with a Ø50mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT50X75X75S is a tandem multi-position pneumatic cylinder that delivers three fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), extended to the first section stroke (75 mm), and fully extended using both sections (150 mm). Each 50 mm bore section generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, driven through a 20 mm diameter piston rod, making it suitable for repetitive two-stop feeding or sorting tasks where intermediate and full-extension points must be hit reliably.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing standard AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body has an A-length of 243 mm, uses PT1/4 ports, and features an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm on each section to manage end-of-stroke deceleration. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 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) | 75 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 150 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.

Actuates a flap or gate to three distinct positions: closed (0 mm), partial bypass (75 mm), and full divert (150 mm), routing products down different conveyor lanes.
Advances a pusher plate to a pre-stage position at 75 mm for inspection, then completes the stroke to 150 mm to load the part into a fixture, all with one compact cylinder.
Provides a light-contact position at 75 mm for alignment, followed by a full 150 mm stroke for the final press operation, ensuring consistent depth control without an external hard stop.
Choose the SCT when your application needs two or three fixed mechanical stops without the complexity of servo controls or multiple individual cylinders. For this 50 mm bore, if your load requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides about 628 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. If you need a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, both 75 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option; the basic mounting style means no additional brackets are included, so you can use your existing mounting hardware.
Multi-position checklist
It provides 3 discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 75 mm (first section extended), and 150 mm (both sections extended). Because both strokes are equal at 75 mm, the 75 mm and 150 mm positions are the only extended stopping points.
Yes, in many cases. A single SCT50X75X75S can replace two standard SC50X75 cylinders mounted back-to-back, saving space and eliminating the need to synchronize two separate air circuits. Ensure the replacement matches the 50 mm bore, both 75 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet if sensor feedback is required.
