The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X400-10S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 10 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 400mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X400-10S puts a 10 mm field-adjustable stroke end into a compact 32 mm bore tie-rod body, delivering 402 N of push force at a standard 0.5 MPa supply. Its rear-cap adjusting screw lets you fine-tune the end position without removing the cylinder or adding external hard stops, which is especially useful during commissioning runs and small-bore pick-and-place setups.
A built-in magnet (the -S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the 182 mm body, giving clean end-of-stroke or mid-position signals. The 12 mm rod runs in a 21 mm air cushion, and the PT1/8 port keeps the footprint small. At 0.9 MPa the push force reaches 724 N, while the pull force is 345 N at 0.5 MPa due to the single-rod design.

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 10 mm screw adjustment lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end during machine setup without swapping cylinders, saving hours on multi-station small-part assembly lines.
Adjust the retract position to compensate for gripper finger wear or part tolerance drift in electronics assembly, keeping placement accuracy tight over thousands of cycles.
Fine-tune the gate opening stroke on a packaging conveyor to handle different product widths, using the magnet sensor to confirm the gate is fully open before releasing the next item.
Step up to the 40 mm bore if your load consistently exceeds the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa—the SCJ40 delivers 628 N push at the same pressure. For fixed-stroke applications where no end adjustment is needed, the standard SC32 is a simpler, lower-cost alternative. A direct replacement must match the 32 mm bore, 400 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjust range, PT thread, and the -S magnet; the basic mount style means no additional bracket is included. At 400 mm of stroke, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the rod sees any side load, as the 12 mm rod can buckle under off-axis forces.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
Push force is 402 N at 0.5 MPa, 563 N at 0.7 MPa, and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Pull force is lower—345 N at 0.5 MPa—because the 12 mm rod reduces the piston area on the return stroke.
Yes, if you need the 10 mm stroke-end adjustment. The SCJ32 shares the same bore, rod, port, and mounting accessories as the SC32, but the body length A is 182 mm—slightly longer to house the adjusting screw. Ensure the extra length fits your machine envelope.
