The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X25-20 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, 25mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X25-20 is a compact adjustable-stroke cylinder that delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a precise actuator for light-duty positioning tasks. Its rear adjusting screw provides a 20 mm stroke-end adjustment range, allowing operators to fine-tune the 25 mm nominal stroke without dismounting the cylinder or adding external hard stops.
Built on a durable tie-rod body with a 12 mm piston rod and PT1/8 ports, this double-acting, single-rod cylinder features a 21 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. The body length A(SCJ) is 182 mm, offering a space-efficient solution where stroke calibration is needed during commissioning or format changes.

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 vision system or sensor alignment on small test fixtures, using the 20 mm screw adjustment to achieve perfect trigger positioning.
Adjust the retract position of a glue or solder paste dispensing head to match different workpiece heights on a benchtop automated assembly cell.
Create an adjustable part stop on a small conveyor for sorting electronic components, where the stop position is tweaked for different product batches.
Choose the SCJ32X25-20 when you need to dial in a precise end position on a compact machine. If your force requirement grows, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push at the same pressure. For applications where the stroke is fixed and will never need field adjustment, the standard SC32X25 fixed-stroke cylinder is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. This model is a direct replacement for an existing AirTAC SCJ32X25-20 with PT ports and basic mounting.
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. The pull force is lower due to the area of the 12 mm piston rod.
A screw in the rear cap acts as an internal stroke limiter. By turning it, you can shorten the stroke end by up to 20 mm from the nominal 25 mm maximum. It adjusts the end position only and does not change the cylinder's force or speed.
