The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X75X25 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 25mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 100mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X75X25 is a double-acting multi-position pneumatic cylinder that provides four fixed rod positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 25 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm total travel. Each 63 mm bore piston section generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, offering robust thrust for mid-range automation tasks. The cylinder body has a base length of 249 mm and uses a 20 mm diameter rod with M16x1.5 threads.
This tandem cylinder integrates two piston sections on a common rod, eliminating the complexity of two separate actuators and external stops. The 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end section decelerates the load smoothly. As a genuine AirTAC product, it is built with a tie-rod construction and standard PT1/4 ports, ready for reliable industrial use.

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) | 25 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 100 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.

Uses the 25 mm and 75 mm positions to divert parts into two separate lanes, with 0 mm and 100 mm serving as home and a third lane, controlling flow in a compact conveyor junction.
Provides a shallow 25 mm pre-press and a deeper 75 mm final press stroke. The 100 mm total extension clears the tooling, all from a single actuator body.
Positions a clamp jaw at 25 mm for thin workpieces and 75 mm for thick ones. The 0 mm and 100 mm positions handle part loading and full release, streamlining changeovers.
Choose the SCT63X75X25 when your process requires four distinct mechanical positions without electronic feedback. It simplifies setups that would otherwise need two individual cylinders and a mounting bracket, reducing alignment work and potential drift. For lighter loads, stepping down to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa; for heavier demands, an 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N.
To replace an existing SCT63X75X25, match the 63 mm bore, both the 75 mm and 25 mm strokes, and the PT port thread. Since the strokes are relatively short, rod deflection is minimal, but always align the load axially to prevent side-loading on the 20 mm rod.
Multi-position checklist
This model provides four discrete positions: 0 mm (fully retracted), 25 mm (stroke 2 extended), 75 mm (stroke 1 extended), and 100 mm (both strokes extended). The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely adjustable.
It combines two strokes on a single common rod, guaranteeing fixed mechanical spacing between positions without external brackets or sensors. This reduces installation time and ensures the 25 mm and 75 mm stops maintain their relationship, unlike two independent cylinders that can drift out of sync.
