The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X75X350S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 350mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 425mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X75X350S tandem cylinder provides four fixed rod positions: fully retracted, 75 mm, 350 mm, and the combined 425 mm stroke. This discrete multi-stop action is achieved by pressurising either or both of its two piston sections, making it ideal for diverting or two-depth positioning tasks without complex controls. Each section delivers 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2805 N at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. The 20 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration across the combined 425 mm travel. The body length A is 249 mm plus strokes, fitting compact multi-stop stations.

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) | 350 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 425 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 75 mm and 350 mm stops to route parts to two separate conveyor lanes from a single infeed point, activated by different valve signals.
Provides a fast approach at 350 mm and a controlled final press depth at 425 mm total travel, or a shallow 75 mm pre-press operation.
Acts as a product gate with a closed position (0 mm), a low gap (75 mm), and a high gap (350 mm or 425 mm) for different package sizes.
Select the SCT63 when you need up to four fixed mechanical stops without the complexity of two separate cylinders and external hard stops. The 75 mm and 350 mm stroke combination suits a short pre-position and a longer main working stroke. If higher force is required, consider stepping up to the SCT80 bore, which provides 2513 N of push per section at 0.5 MPa. For replacement, match the 63 mm bore, both 75 mm and 350 mm strokes, the PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. With the 350 mm section stroke extended, ensure the rod is guided if significant side loads are present to prevent bending.
Multi-position checklist
This tandem cylinder provides four discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 75 mm, 350 mm, and 425 mm (75+350). These are fixed by the two stroke sections and are not infinitely adjustable.
The SCT integrates two strokes on a single common rod, guaranteeing coaxial alignment and reducing mounting space compared to two individual cylinders with a coupled rod. It simplifies plumbing to achieve the three extended positions.
