About the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10
The SCJ32X160-10 is a 32 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that lets you fine-tune the stroke end by up to 10 mm without removing the cylinder from the machine. Its 12 mm diameter rod and M10x1.25 rod thread deliver 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a practical choice for light clamping, sorting gates, and compact assembly tools where the final stop position needs dialling in during commissioning.
Because the body length A(SCJ) is 182 mm and the integral cushion length is 21 mm, the unit stays compact even with the adjust mechanism. The standard PT1/8 port and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems from -20 to +70 °C. This model ships in basic configuration with no magnet or mounting bracket, so you can add the exact SCJ-compatible foot (LB), front flange (FA), or centre trunnion (TC) accessory your fixture requires.
Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCJ adjustable-stroke tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 160 mm |
| Stroke adjustment | Up to 10 mm (rear adjusting screw) |
| Acting type | Double acting (single rod) |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 21 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1000 mm |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10 Is Used
Commissioning Fine-Tuning
Dial in the exact end-stop position during machine bring-up. The 10 mm rear screw adjustment lets technicians set the retract or extend limit without swapping shims or cylinder bodies.
Small-Part Sorting Gates
Adjust the gate opening stroke to match different product heights on a packaging line. The 32 mm bore provides 402 N push force for light-duty diverter flaps.
Wear Take-Up on Clamp Tools
Compensate for jaw or pad wear over time by advancing the stroke end with the rear screw, maintaining consistent clamping force without replacing the cylinder.
Is the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCJ32X160-10 when you need a 160 mm nominal stroke that can be shortened by up to 10 mm at the rear cap—ideal for setting a precise retract or extend stop during format changes. If 402 N push at 0.5 MPa is borderline, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SCJ40 delivers 628 N push at the same pressure. For applications that demand a fixed, non-adjustable stroke with identical mounting, the standard SC32X160 is the direct alternative. When replacing an existing SCJ32X160-10, match the bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and basic mounting style. For strokes of 160 mm, side-load is usually minimal, but if the rod sees off-axis force, add an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune stroke on the line?
- ✓ Nominal stroke + adjust range (-10)
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the rear adjusting screw, then lock it before running.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCJ mounting accessory (FA / LB / TC / TCM1).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 402 N pushing force and 345 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, push force reaches 804 N. The pull force is lower because the 12 mm rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
Yes, if you need the adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ32X160-10 shares the same bore, nominal stroke, and mounting accessories as the fixed-stroke SC32, but adds a rear adjusting screw that shortens the stroke end by up to 10 mm. Ensure the slightly longer body length A(SCJ) of 182 mm fits your space.
