About the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10S
The AirTAC SCJ32X160-10S is a double-acting, single-rod tie-rod cylinder that puts field-adjustable stroke control directly into a compact 32 mm bore package. A rear-cap adjusting screw lets you fine-tune the stroke end by up to 10 mm without removing the cylinder, which is ideal for dialling in precise end positions during commissioning or changeovers. With a 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports, this model delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. Operating on 40 µm filtered air, the SCJ32X160-10S handles temperatures from -20 to +70 °C and includes an adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration. Its 160 mm nominal stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, making it a ready-to-ship, genuine AirTAC solution for dynamic positioning tasks.
Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10S |
|---|---|
| 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 SCJ32X160-10S Is Used
Commissioning & Setup Fine-Tuning
The 10 mm rear adjustment screw allows technicians to precisely dial in the final stop position during machine commissioning without swapping out the cylinder or machining custom end-stops, saving significant setup time.
Small-Part Clamping & Ejection
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder is ideal for clamping delicate components or ejecting small parts where the final stroke position must be perfectly matched to the tooling to prevent damage.
Wear Compensation in Automated Jigs
In repetitive cycling fixtures, the adjustable stroke can compensate for wear on contact surfaces or tooling tips over time, maintaining consistent engagement without any mechanical disassembly.
Is the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCJ32X160-10S when you need a compact, sensor-ready cylinder with the ability to tweak the stroke end during setup. If your application demands more force, stepping up to the SCJ40 series provides a significant jump to 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC32 series offers a simpler, more cost-effective alternative without the rear adjusting mechanism. This SCJ model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ32 cylinder with a 160 mm nominal stroke and a 10 mm adjustment range, provided it uses PT ports and a basic mount. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always assess the side load on the 12 mm rod; an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
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 SCJ32X160-10S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this single-rod cylinder generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. The push force is greater than the pull force because the rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
Yes, you can replace an AirTAC SC32 with a 160 mm stroke, but you gain the 10 mm adjustable stroke feature. Ensure the mounting style matches, as the SCJ body length is slightly longer than a fixed-stroke SC of the same bore. The SCJ32X160-10S is a direct, genuine AirTAC replacement for another SCJ32X160-10S cylinder with a PT port and basic mount.
