The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X175-100 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 100 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 175mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X175-100 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides a full 100 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end control, letting you fine-tune the 175 mm nominal stroke without swapping the unit. Its 32 mm bore delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, and the 12 mm diameter piston rod threads into an M10x1.25 knuckle, making it a compact yet precise actuator for light automation tasks.
This tie-rod cylinder uses PT1/8 ports and includes a 21 mm air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly. With a body length A of 182 mm, it fits neatly into space-constrained assemblies. The adjustable screw only sets the stroke end position—it does not alter output force or speed—so it is ideal for commissioning trials, format changeovers, or taking up mechanical wear on a production line.

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.
During machine bring-up, the 100 mm adjust range lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end for gripper close positions or ejector extensions without cutting and re-threading rod ends.
In high-cycle diverting gates, the screw can be periodically advanced to compensate for wear on the external mechanical stop, maintaining precise part placement without replacing the cylinder.
When a packaging line switches between product sizes, the adjustable stroke allows a quick mechanical change of the pusher stroke length, reducing changeover time compared to fixed-stroke cylinders.
Step up to the SCJ40 bore for 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if this 32 mm model's 402 N is marginal for your payload. If your application does not require a field-changeable stroke, the fixed-stroke SC32 series offers the same force and mounting footprint at a lower cost. For direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 175 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjust range, PT1/8 ports, and basic mounting style. At this 175 mm stroke, ensure the rod is guided externally if side loads are present, as a long, unguided single rod can experience bending moments.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The pull force is always lower because the rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
You can, provided the 100 mm adjustment range does not interfere with your mechanism. The SCJ body is slightly longer than a comparable SC to house the adjusting screw. Ensure the mounting, port size (PT1/8), and rod thread (M10x1.25) match your existing setup.
