The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X450-40S 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, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X450-40S is a double-acting, single-rod tie-rod cylinder that lets you fine-tune the stroke end by up to 40 mm with a rear adjusting screw, without removing the cylinder from the machine. With a 12 mm rod and a push force of 724 N at 0.9 MPa, it handles mid-range positioning tasks where the exact stop point needs on-the-fly adjustment.
This model includes a built-in magnet, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the 182 mm body for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 450 mm nominal stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum for the 32 mm bore, and the adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends.

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.
Ideal for machine builders who need to dial in the exact stroke end during initial setup and testing, saving hours compared to swapping fixed-stroke cylinders.
Quickly adjust the stop position for different product sizes on a packaging or sorting line without needing new tooling or mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the stroke end over the machine's life to compensate for wear on grippers or tooling, maintaining precise positioning without replacing parts.
Choose this 32 mm bore when your application needs around 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push at the same pressure. For applications where the stroke length is permanently fixed after commissioning, the standard SC series offers a more economical choice. This SCJ cylinder is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ32 with a 450 mm nominal stroke and a 40 mm adjust range, provided the port thread (PT) and magnet option match.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A screw in the rear cap limits how far the piston can retract. Turning the screw shortens the stroke end by up to 40 mm from the nominal 450 mm. It sets a mechanical stop, not a force or speed change.
No, like all standard double-acting cylinders, the piston will drift if pressure is lost or the valve is centered. To hold a load safely without live air pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
