The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X75X100 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 100mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 175mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X75X100 is a double-acting multi-position tandem cylinder that provides four fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), 75 mm, 100 mm, and the total extended travel of 175 mm. Each of its two 63 mm bore piston sections generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust solution for tasks requiring multiple, repeatable stop points without complex servo controls.
Built on a durable tie-rod construction with a 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 rod thread, this cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration. The PT1/4 ports and standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, ensuring reliable performance in general industrial environments.

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 (section 2) | 100 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 175 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.

Direct packages or parts to four distinct lanes by pressurizing the cylinder sections individually or together, achieving precise 0, 75, 100, and 175 mm gate positions for flexible routing.
Perform a primary press at the 75 mm stroke and a secondary, deeper press at the full 175 mm extension, with a safe intermediate retract position at 100 mm for part inspection or rotation.
Advance components along a fixture with three distinct feed lengths. The 75 mm and 100 mm strokes provide two different push distances, combinable for a full 175 mm index.
Select the SCT tandem cylinder when your application needs up to four distinct mechanical stops from a single pneumatic unit, avoiding the complexity and cost of two separate cylinders with external hard stops. The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push force per section at 0.5 MPa; if higher force is needed, consider stepping up to the 80 mm bore which offers 2513 N per section. For a lighter, more compact design, the 50 mm bore delivers 982 N.
As a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, both the 75 mm and 100 mm strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration. Given the combined 175 mm total travel, ensure the rod is adequately guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending and premature seal wear.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four distinct mechanical stop positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 75 mm (section 1 extended), 100 mm (section 2 extended), and 175 mm (both sections extended). The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths.
Each of the two 63 mm bore piston sections produces 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa. The force from one section does not add to the other; each section provides this force independently at its respective stroke position.
