The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X120-30 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 30 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 120mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X120-30 delivers a nominal 120 mm stroke with a rear-cap adjusting screw that lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 30 mm without removing the cylinder. This 32 mm bore double-acting, single-rod design provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a compact workhorse for light positioning and end-stop tuning tasks.
Built on the proven SC tie-rod platform, the adjustable-stroke version adds a 12 mm diameter piston rod, a 21 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration, and a body length of 182 mm. The PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread keep connections simple, while the standard TPU seal handles -20 to +70 °C. This genuine AirTAC cylinder is ideal for commissioning trials where the final stroke length is determined on the machine.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCJ (adjustable-stroke) datasheet. The rear adjusting screw sets the stroke end position; force is the same as the equivalent single-rod SC bore. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
SCJ is single-rod, so force matches the equivalent SC bore: push uses the full bore area, pull subtracts the rod area. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

Related types: SC (single rod, fixed stroke), SCD (double rod), SCT (multi-position). SCJ mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Field-adjust the stroke end by up to 30 mm to dial in the exact stopping position during machine commissioning, eliminating the need to stock multiple fixed-stroke cylinders for trial runs.
Compensate for gradual wear on tooling or mechanical stops in light assembly fixtures. The rear screw allows operators to tweak the stroke end without disassembling the actuator.
Fine-tune the pusher stroke on a small-part conveyor diverter. The 30 mm adjustment lets you adapt the ejection throw for different product sizes without swapping the cylinder.
Choose the SCJ32 when you need to fine-tune the stroke end position during setup or changeover. If you require more push force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, fixed-stroke option, the standard SC32 is a simpler pick. The 30 mm adjustment range is particularly useful for taking up wear on mechanical stops or accommodating small batch-to-batch part variations.
For a direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 120 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjust range, PT1/8 port thread, and basic mounting. If your application involves significant side loads, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder, as the 12 mm rod is not designed to bear heavy lateral forces.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N (due to the single 12 mm rod). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. Always size your load for the lower pull force if the cylinder works in both directions.
Yes, if you need field-adjustable stroke end control. The SCJ32X120-30 matches the SC32's 32 mm bore, port size, and rod thread, but its body is slightly longer to house the adjusting screw. Ensure the 30 mm adjustment range covers your stroke reduction needs, and verify the mounting footprint is compatible.
