The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X150X200S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 150mm and 200mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 350mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X150X200S is a tandem multi-position cylinder that delivers four distinct rod stops: 0 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, and the full combined travel of 350 mm. By pressurising the two piston sections independently or together, you gain precise, repeatable intermediate positions without external hard stops. Each 63 mm bore section produces 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, driven by a 20 mm rod through PT1/4 ports.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or intermediate position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at each end (28 mm length) decelerates the load smoothly, and the body length A(SCT) is 249 mm. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 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) | 150 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 200 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 350 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.

Use the four discrete positions (0, 150, 200, 350 mm) to route parts to three different conveyor lanes. The sensor-ready magnet confirms each stop, ensuring reliable sortation.
Achieve a 150 mm pre-press and a 200 mm full-depth stroke from one cylinder. The tandem design guarantees repeatable depth control without complex servo setups.
Position a tooling plate at 150 mm for component loading and 350 mm for full insertion. The 1559 N per-section force handles robust assembly tasks.
Choose the SCT when your application needs two or more fixed intermediate stop positions from a single compact assembly, rather than linking two separate cylinders or adding external mechanical stops to a standard SC unit. The 63 mm bore provides a mid-range force of 1559 N push per section at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, step up to the 80 mm bore (2513 N push), or down to the 50 mm bore (982 N push) for lighter, faster moves.
For a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, both strokes (150 mm and 200 mm), PT port thread, and the built-in magnet (-S). The basic mounting configuration accepts the full SCT accessory set—FA/FB flanges, CA/CB devises, or LB feet—if you need to change the mounting style later. With a 150 mm and 200 mm stroke, ensure the rod is guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending.
Multi-position checklist
It provides four discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 150 mm (section one extended), 200 mm (section two extended), and 350 mm (both sections extended). The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely variable.
Yes, it is a direct replacement when you need two intermediate stops plus the retracted and full-extend positions. Ensure the replacement matches the 63 mm bore, 150 mm and 200 mm strokes, PT ports, and the -S magnet option. The single tandem body is more compact than two individual cylinders with a mounting bracket.
