The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X165-10S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 10 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 165mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X165-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, letting you fine-tune the 165 mm nominal stroke by up to 10 mm without swapping the unit. Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread deliver a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact yet capable actuator for light positioning and clamping tasks.
The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. With a body length A of 182 mm, PT1/8 ports, and a 21 mm air cushion, this cylinder integrates easily into existing pneumatic circuits operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.

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.
The 10 mm rear adjustment screw lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end during machine commissioning, eliminating the need for custom spacer blocks or multiple cylinder swaps.
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, fine-tune the stroke end to apply consistent clamping pressure on delicate electronic components or small assemblies without over-travel.
Adjust the stroke end to precisely align a diverter gate with different lane widths on a packaging conveyor, accommodating format changes in minutes.
For applications needing a bit more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore SCJ provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your task requires a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC series is a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. This SCJ32X165-10S is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ32 cylinder with a 165 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjust range, PT ports, basic mount, and a magnet, ensuring drop-in compatibility.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 724 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is greater than the pull force.
A rear-cap adjusting screw shortens the stroke end by up to 10 mm from the 165 mm nominal maximum. Choose the SCJ when you need to fine-tune the stroke on the machine for commissioning, wear take-up, or format changes. If your application has a fixed, unchanging stroke, the standard SC fixed-stroke cylinder is the better choice.
