About the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-30S
The SCJ32X160-30S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder from AirTAC's SCJ series, featuring a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides up to 30 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end reduction. With a 32 mm bore and a 12 mm piston rod, it delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty positioning tasks where the final stroke length needs fine-tuning during commissioning or changeovers.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The cylinder uses PT1/8 ports, an M10x1.25 rod thread, and a 21 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. Its body length A(SCJ) is 182 mm, and it operates within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C with TPU seals.
Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-30S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCJ adjustable-stroke tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 160 mm |
| Stroke adjustment | Up to 30 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 SCJ32X160-30S Is Used
Commissioning & Setup
Fine-tune the end-stop position during machine commissioning without swapping cylinders. The 30 mm adjustment range allows engineers to dial in the exact stroke for optimal performance.
Small-Part Diverter Gates
Adjust the gate opening on a conveyor line to handle different product sizes. The SCJ32's compact 182 mm body and adjustable stroke make it easy to integrate into tight spaces.
Sensor-Controlled Pick-and-Place
The built-in magnet enables clean sensor mounting for precise end-of-stroke feedback, critical for verifying part ejection or gripper closure in light assembly cells.
Is the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-30S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SCJ32X160-30S when you need a compact, adjustable-stroke actuator for light automation. If 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SCJ series provides 628 N. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke without the rear screw, the standard SC series is a more economical choice. This cylinder is a direct replacement for an existing AirTAC SCJ32X160-30S with a magnet, PT ports, and basic mounting. For strokes of 160 mm, ensure the load is guided to prevent excessive side-loading on the 12 mm rod.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune stroke on the line?
- ✓ Nominal stroke + adjust range (-30)
- ✓ 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 SCJ32X160-30S FAQ
A rear-cap adjusting screw limits the piston's return stroke end by up to 30 mm. The nominal 160 mm stroke is the maximum; you can shorten it to any length down to 130 mm by turning the screw, without affecting the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Yes, this is a genuine AirTAC SCJ32X160-30S with a magnet, PT ports, and basic mounting. It is a direct dimensional and performance match for any cylinder with the same model code, ensuring identical fit and force output.
