The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X200-20 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 20 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 200mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X200-20 is a 32 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that provides up to 20 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end reduction. This allows precise fine-tuning of the piston stop position without replacing the cylinder or adding external hard stops. The 12 mm diameter piston rod generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light clamping, sorting, and positioning tasks.
The tie-rod construction houses a 21 mm long air cushion for smooth deceleration, and the PT1/8 port supplies the standard 30-800 mm/s speed range. The body length A(SCJ) is 182 mm, slightly longer than the fixed-stroke SC due to the rear adjustment mechanism. This model operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and is rated for ambient temperatures from -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.

During machine setup, the 20 mm adjusting screw lets technicians precisely set the end-stop for a pick-and-place arm without iterative cylinder swaps, saving hours of mechanical adjustment.
In automated assembly fixtures, the adjustable stroke compensates for gradual wear on contact tooling tips, maintaining consistent pressing depth over thousands of cycles.
The 32 mm bore and 200 mm stroke actuate diverter gates on narrow conveyors, where the 20 mm adjust range fine-tunes the gate opening to match different product widths.
Choose the SCJ32X200-20 when you need to dial in a precise end-of-stroke position during commissioning or after tooling wear. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is marginal, stepping up to the SCJ40 series provides 628 N at the same pressure. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC32X200 is a direct alternative. This SCJ model replaces any AirTAC SCJ32X200-20 with PT ports and basic mounting; ensure the adjust range and nominal stroke match your existing setup. For strokes of 200 mm, verify that the rod is adequately supported if side loads are present, or consider an external guide rail.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
A screw in the rear cap limits how far the piston can retract. Turning the screw shortens the stroke end by up to 20 mm from the nominal 200 mm. It adjusts the end position only, not the cylinder's force or speed.
