The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X120-50S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 120mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X120-50S brings field-adjustable stroke control to compact 32 mm bore applications. Its rear-cap screw lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm without removing the cylinder, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for light clamping and positioning tasks.
A built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke confirmation. With a 12 mm rod, PT1/8 ports, and a 21 mm air cushion, this 182 mm body length cylinder handles speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.

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.

Dial in the exact stroke end position during machine setup. The 50 mm adjustment range lets technicians compensate for assembly tolerances without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the eject stroke for different component heights on a packaging line. The built-in magnet provides sensor feedback to confirm each cycle.
Take up mechanical wear in gripper jaws or press tools over time by slightly extending the effective stroke via the rear screw, maintaining consistent contact.
Choose the SCJ32 when you need to fine-tune the stroke on a compact machine. If 402 N push at 0.5 MPa is marginal, stepping up to the SCJ40 delivers 628 N. For applications where the stroke is fixed and never changes, the standard SC32 is a simpler, lower-cost alternative. This model replaces any AirTAC SCJ32 with a 120 mm nominal stroke and 50 mm adjust range, PT ports, and a magnet sensor option. At 120 mm stroke, rod deflection is minimal, but if side loads are present, add an external linear guide.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N (due to the 12 mm rod area). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N.
A screw in the rear cap limits how far the piston can retract. Turning the screw shortens the stroke end by up to 50 mm from the 120 mm nominal maximum, allowing you to set the exact position needed on the machine.
