The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X50X25 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 50mm and 25mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 75mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X50X25 tandem cylinder delivers four distinct rod positions: 0 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, and the full 75 mm combined travel. Each 63 mm bore section provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for applications requiring multiple fixed stop points without complex controls.
Built with a 20 mm diameter rod and PT1/4 ports, this cylinder features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration. The body length A(SCT) is 249 mm, and the per-section thrust rises to 2805 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 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) | 50 mm |
| P2 (section 2) | 25 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 75 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 a partial-open position at 25 mm and a full-open position at 75 mm for routing different product sizes on a conveyor.
Provides two distinct pressing depths in a assembly fixture, first a light touch at 25 mm stroke, then full insertion at 75 mm total travel.
Applies an initial low-force clamp at the 50 mm position, then a secondary high-force clamp at the full 75 mm extension, preventing part damage.
Select the SCT63X50X25 when a pneumatic solution needs four repeatable stop positions from a single, compact unit. It replaces using two separate cylinders and external hard stops. For higher force requirements, consider stepping up to the 80 mm bore, which offers 2513 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. A direct replacement must match the 63 mm bore, both 50 mm and 25 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
Multi-position checklist
This model has 4 discrete stop positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 25 mm, 50 mm, and fully extended at 75 mm. The positions are achieved by pressurizing either one or both cylinder sections.
Each of the two piston sections provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa air pressure. The forces do not add together for multi-position moves.
