About the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-50
The SCJ32X160-50 is a 32 mm bore, single-rod double-acting pneumatic cylinder that puts stroke-end tuning directly in your hands. Its rear-cap adjusting screw provides a 50 mm shortening range, so you can dial in the exact stop position from 110 mm to 160 mm without swapping the cylinder or adding external hard stops. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N on the pull stroke, making it a capable actuator for light clamping, sorting, and diverting tasks.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread and PT1/8 ports. The body length A(SCJ) is 182 mm, and the integral air cushion (21 mm long) decelerates the piston quietly at each end. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30–800 mm/s, suiting it for rapid cycling where the final position needs frequent adjustment.
Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-50 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCJ adjustable-stroke tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 160 mm |
| Stroke adjustment | Up to 50 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 SCJ32X160-50 Is Used
Commissioning & Setup
During machine commissioning, the 50 mm adjustment screw lets technicians fine-tune the end stop for perfect alignment with mating parts, eliminating the need to machine custom spacer blocks.
Wear Compensation
In repetitive pressing or clamping operations, the stroke can be gradually extended via the rear screw to compensate for pad or tooling wear, maintaining consistent contact force without replacing the cylinder.
Small-Part Diverting
The adjustable stroke allows a single SCJ32X160-50 to be quickly reconfigured for different lane widths on a conveyor, diverting products of varying sizes with a simple screw adjustment.
Is the Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X160-50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCJ32 when your application needs a compact, field-adjustable stroke in the 32 mm bore class. If you require more force, the next step up is the SCJ40 (628 N push at 0.5 MPa), which also offers a larger 16 mm rod. For applications where the stroke never changes, the fixed-stroke SC32 is a simpler, lower-cost alternative. If side loads are a concern, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder, as the 12 mm rod is not designed to bear lateral forces.
This model replaces any AirTAC SCJ32X160-50 with PT ports, basic mounting, and no magnet. When ordering a direct replacement, match the bore (32 mm), nominal stroke (160 mm), adjust range (50 mm), and port thread (PT). Mounting accessories from the SCJ subset—FA front flange, LB foot, or TC centre trunnion—can be added using the F-SC32 prefix.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune stroke on the line?
- ✓ Nominal stroke + adjust range (-50)
- ✓ 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 SCJ32X160-50 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is always greater than the pull force due to the area of the 12 mm rod.
A rear-cap screw lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm, so the effective stroke is field-adjustable between 110 mm and 160 mm. Pick the SCJ when you need to fine-tune the stop position during setup, for format changes, or to take up wear. Choose a fixed-stroke SC32 if your stroke length is permanent and you want a simpler, more cost-effective cylinder.
