The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X175-50S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 175mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X175-50S is a 32mm bore double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides up to 50mm of field-adjustable stroke-end reduction. This allows fine-tuning of the piston's end position without replacing the cylinder or adding external hard stops, making it ideal for commissioning and format changeovers. The built-in magnet enables direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for precise position feedback.
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N on the pull stroke, with a maximum push of 724 N at 0.9 MPa. The 12mm diameter piston rod features an M10x1.25 thread, and the body length A is 182mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates on 40µm filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70°C.

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 50mm adjustment range lets technicians fine-tune the actuator's end stop during initial machine setup, compensating for assembly tolerances without fabricating custom shims.
In high-cycle clamping or pressing fixtures, the stroke can be incrementally extended via the rear screw to maintain consistent contact force as tooling or pads wear down over time.
Quickly adapt the cylinder's stroke for different product sizes on a packaging or labeling line by adjusting the rear screw, eliminating the need to swap out the cylinder for each format.
Choose the SCJ32X175-50S when you need to precisely dial in a stroke end position on a compact machine. If your application requires more force, stepping up to the SCJ40 bore provides 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For applications where the stroke never needs adjustment, a fixed-stroke SC32X175 cylinder is a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. This SCJ model is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ32X175-50S cylinder with PT ports and a magnet.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A screw in the rear cap mechanically limits how far the piston can retract. By turning this screw, you can shorten the stroke end by up to 50mm from the nominal 175mm maximum. It adjusts only the stroke end position, not the cylinder's force or speed.
The theoretical push force is 402 N at 0.5 MPa and 724 N at 0.9 MPa. The pull force is lower due to the 12mm rod area, delivering 345 N at 0.5 MPa. For holding a load without air pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
