The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X150X150 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 150mm and 150mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 300mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X150X150 is a tandem multi-position cylinder that provides three fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), mid-stroke (150 mm), and fully extended (300 mm). Each 63 mm bore section delivers 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for sorting or diverting tasks where a central stop is required.
Built on a rugged tie-rod design with a 20 mm diameter rod and M16x1.5 rod thread, this cylinder uses PT1/4 ports and features an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. The body length A(SCT) is 249 mm, providing a compact tandem footprint for its 300 mm total travel.

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) | 150 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 300 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 conveyor diverter with a central pass-through position (150 mm) and two fully extended or retracted sort lanes, simplifying pneumatic control for three-way routing.
Provides a partial-engagement stop at 150 mm for pre-forming and a full-depth stop at 300 mm for final pressing, all from a single compact tandem cylinder.
Moves a workpiece through three distinct positions on a linear slide: pick (0 mm), inspection (150 mm), and place (300 mm), eliminating the need for a servo axis.
Select the SCT63X150X150 when your application requires a precise mid-position stop without the complexity of two separate cylinders and external hard stops. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N of push per section at the same pressure. For a lower force profile, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N.
For replacement, match the 63 mm bore, both 150 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting style. If your current unit includes a magnet for sensor feedback, ensure the replacement code carries the -S suffix.
Multi-position checklist
This model provides 3 distinct mechanical stop positions because both section strokes are equal at 150 mm. The rod stops at 0 mm (retracted), 150 mm (mid-stroke), and 300 mm (fully extended).
Yes, it can often replace two single-rod cylinders in push-pull or two-stop applications. Ensure the replacement matches the 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke per section, PT1/4 ports, and basic mounting. The tandem design provides fixed stops without external brackets.
