The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X225-40 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 40 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 225mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X225-40 is a double-acting, single-rod tie-rod cylinder with a rear-cap adjusting screw, allowing the stroke end position to be fine-tuned within a 40 mm range without replacing the unit. This 32 mm bore model delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty positioning and end-stop adjustment tasks.
With a 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports, the cylinder body has a base length (A) of 182 mm. It features an adjustable air cushion of 21 mm for smooth deceleration and operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. The nominal 225 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size.

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.
Fine-tune the actuator end-stop during machine commissioning to perfectly align with mating parts, eliminating the need to fabricate shims or external hard stops.
Compensate for mechanical wear in linkages or gripper pads over time by adjusting the cylinder's stroke end, maintaining consistent clamping force and product handling.
Adjust the push stroke length to handle different product sizes on a sorting line, providing a quick mechanical changeover without reprogramming a servo axis.
Choose the SCJ32 when you need to dial in a precise stroke end position on a machine, such as during commissioning or format changes. If the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the SCJ40 provides a significant force increase to 628 N. For applications that do not require field adjustability, the simpler fixed-stroke SC32 cylinder is a direct alternative. A direct replacement must match the 32 mm bore, 225 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 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 screw mechanism in the rear cap limits the piston's retraction, allowing you to shorten the stroke end by up to 40 mm from the nominal 225 mm. It is a mechanical stroke stop, not a force or speed regulator, and it does not lock the piston rod in place when air pressure is removed.
