The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X75X5S is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 75mm and 5mm give 4 controllable stop positions across a 80mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X75X5S tandem cylinder provides four discrete rod positions—0 mm, 5 mm, 75 mm, and the combined 80 mm total travel—using two independently controlled piston sections on a single 20 mm rod. Each section delivers 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 2805 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it ideal for two-stage clamping or sorting tasks that require a short initial advance followed by a longer stroke.
This 63 mm bore model features a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-position detection without external brackets. The tie-rod construction houses a 28 mm adjustable air cushion in each section, and the PT1/4 ports keep plumbing compact for the 249 mm baseline body length.

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) | 5 mm |
| P3 (both extended) | 80 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 5 mm stop for a low-force part verification probe before the 75 mm stroke transfers the accepted component to the outfeed lane.
The 5 mm position sets a locating pin, and the full 80 mm travel completes the press operation, all controlled by sequencing pressure to each cylinder section.
Provides a partially open gate at 5 mm for small part metering and a fully open gate at 75 mm for bulk flow, with sensor confirmation at every position via the built-in magnet.
Choose the SCT63X75X5S when your process needs a short, precise 5 mm positioning step and a longer 75 mm feed stroke from a single compact unit, eliminating the complexity of two separate cylinders and their mounting hardware. If the 1559 N per-section push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N per section; for a lighter load, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N.
As a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, the exact 75 mm and 5 mm strokes, PT port thread, and the integrated magnet (-S suffix). This basic mount version accepts the full SCT accessory set—FA/FB flanges, CA/CB devises, or LB feet—if your mounting requirements change later.
Multi-position checklist
This 4-position cylinder stops at 0 mm (fully retracted), 5 mm (section 2 extended), 75 mm (section 1 extended), and 80 mm (both sections extended). The positions are fixed by the two stroke lengths and are not infinitely adjustable.
Yes, it is a direct form-fit replacement for setups using two 63 mm bore cylinders to achieve the same 5 mm and 75 mm discrete stops. You must match the total 80 mm travel, the -S magnet option for sensors, and the PT port thread to ensure drop-in compatibility.
