The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X150-40S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 40 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 150mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X150-40S is a 32mm bore double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, letting you fine-tune the 150mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm via a rear-cap adjusting screw. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed and solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke sensing without extra brackets.
At 0.5 MPa air pressure it delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N on the pull stroke, driven by a 12mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 male threads. The PT1/8 ports and 21mm air cushion make it a compact, easily controlled actuator for light-to-medium automation tasks where commissioning tweaks or format changes demand quick stroke adjustment 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.
Fine-tune the end position of a stopper or clamp during machine commissioning without swapping cylinders or machining external hard stops. The 40mm adjustment range covers most trial-and-error positioning needs.
Adjust the stroke end of a diverter gate on a compact conveyor line to handle different product widths. The built-in magnet allows sensor confirmation of the gate position after each adjustment.
Compensate for mechanical wear in a linkage or gripper jaw over time. Instead of re-shimming, the operator simply turns the rear screw to restore the precise stroke end point, reducing downtime.
Choose the SCJ32 when you need a compact adjustable-stroke cylinder with up to 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, step up to the 40mm bore SCJ40 which provides 628 N push at the same pressure. For applications where the stroke is fixed and never needs field adjustment, the standard SC32 fixed-stroke cylinder is a simpler, lower-cost alternative.
To replace an existing SCJ32X150-40S, match the 32mm bore, 150mm nominal stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and built-in magnet. This cylinder uses a basic mount; if you need a pivoting motion, order the TC centre trunnion kit (F-SC32TC) separately. For strokes of 150mm, side-loading is generally manageable, but always align the rod with the load axis to maximise seal and bearing life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. The force is identical to the fixed-stroke SC32 because the adjustable screw only changes the stroke end position, not the piston area.
Yes, if you need the ability to adjust the stroke end. The SCJ32X150-40S has the same bore, port size (PT1/8), and rod thread (M10x1.25) as an SC32. Ensure the 40mm adjustment range and the slightly longer body length (182mm base length A) fit your machine envelope. The built-in magnet also requires you to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if position feedback is needed.
