The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X100X350S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 100mm and 350mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 450mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
This SCT63X100X350S multi-position cylinder provides four distinct rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 100 mm, 350 mm, and the total travel of 450 mm. Each piston section delivers a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for tasks requiring two different intermediate stops without complex controls.
The 63 mm bore unit features a 20 mm diameter rod and M16x1.5 rod thread, with PT1/4 ports. Its integrated magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for reliable position feedback. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 28 mm cushion length, ensures smooth deceleration across the full 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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) | 100 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 350 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 450 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 | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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.

Operates a diverter gate with three active positions—retracted, partial extend at 100 mm for lane one, and full extend at 450 mm for lane two—using simple pneumatic control.
Provides two controlled pressing depths in a single cycle. The 100 mm stop sets a light pre-press, while the 350 mm extension delivers the final forming stroke at 450 mm total travel.
Advances components to a 100 mm inspection point, then moves them to a 350 mm pick location. The 450 mm retracted position allows clear loading of the next part.
Selecting an SCT tandem cylinder is ideal when an application needs up to four fixed stopping points from a single compact unit, replacing the complexity of two separate cylinders with external hard stops. For this 100 mm and 350 mm stroke combination, ensure the load at each position is within the 1559 N push capacity per section at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is needed, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push per section.
When replacing an existing unit, match the 63 mm bore, both the 100 mm and 350 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the basic mounting configuration. The built-in magnet on this -S variant is essential if the original setup uses barrel-mounted sensors. For the 350 mm stroke section, consider external guides if the load has a significant side component to protect the 20 mm rod from bending.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 100 mm, 350 mm, and 450 mm (100 mm + 350 mm). The stops are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely adjustable.
Yes, if the two original cylinders were a 100 mm and a 350 mm stroke unit in a 63 mm bore. The SCT63X100X350S integrates both strokes on one common rod line, simplifying mounting and plumbing. Ensure the port thread (PT), basic mount, and magnet option match your existing setup.
