The AirTAC Airtac SCT32-63 Multi-Position Tandem Air Cylinder SCT63X95X95 is a genuine double-acting MULTI-POSITION (tandem) air cylinder: two piston sections of 95mm and 95mm give 3 controllable stop positions across a 190mm total travel, with a Ø63mm bore, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCT63X95X95 is a double-acting multi-position tandem cylinder that provides three fixed rod positions: fully retracted (0 mm), the first stop at 95 mm, and full extension at 190 mm. Each piston section generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making this unit a robust choice for diverting or sorting tasks requiring two distinct extended positions with a shared retract.
Built on a 63 mm bore with a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports, the cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) to decelerate the load smoothly at both ends of the 190 mm total stroke. The tie-rod construction keeps the body length A(SCT) to a compact 249 mm, simplifying integration into machinery where space for two separate actuators is limited.

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) | 95 mm |
| P2 (both extended) | 190 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.

Extend to the 95 mm position to route a part down one lane, or fully extend to 190 mm to send it down a second lane, all from a single compact actuator.
Use the 95 mm stop for a pre-forming operation and the full 190 mm travel for the final press depth, ensuring consistent part geometry in a two-stage process.
Actuate a gate to a partially open position at 95 mm for small items and fully open at 190 mm for larger packages, controlling material flow without a servo axis.
Select the SCT63X95X95 when you need two precise, repeatable extended stops without the complexity of external hard stops or dual-cylinder setups. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to a 50 mm bore reduces the per-section push force to 982 N at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, both 95 mm section strokes, PT port thread, and basic mounting style. When a section stroke reaches 300 mm or beyond, assess the rod bearing load and consider adding an external guide to prevent side-load deflection.
Multi-position checklist
This model provides 3 discrete mechanical stops: 0 mm (fully retracted), 95 mm (first section extended), and 190 mm (both sections extended, which is the total of stroke1 + stroke2).
Yes, if your application requires two fixed extension points at 95 mm and 190 mm from a single rod line. Ensure the per-section force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa meets your load requirements for each actuated position, and verify the PT1/4 port thread and basic mounting match your current setup.
