The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X50-30S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 30 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø32mm bore, 50mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCJ32X50-30S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, giving you a 30 mm fine-tuning range on the nominal 50 mm stroke. This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread.
Because the stroke is set by a rear-cap adjusting screw, you can dial in the exact stopping position during commissioning or format changes without swapping the cylinder. The tie-rod body is 182 mm long (dimension A) and features a 21 mm air cushion to decelerate the piston quietly. The PT1/8 port and standard TPU seals suit filtered air 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.

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.
During machine setup, the 30 mm adjustment screw lets technicians precisely set the push stroke for a label applicator pad without iterative shimming or mechanical stop changes.
Adjust the retract stroke end to perfectly align a diverter gate with different lane widths on a packaging conveyor, using the built-in magnet for gate position confirmation.
Compensate for jaw or pad wear on a small pneumatic clamp by incrementally extending the stroke end via the rear screw, maintaining consistent clamping force without replacing the cylinder.
Choose this 32 mm bore when your application needs up to 402 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you require more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SCJ40) provides 628 N push at the same 0.5 MPa. For applications that never need stroke adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC32 is a simpler, lower-cost alternative. This SCJ32X50-30S is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ32 cylinder with a 50 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT ports, basic mounting, and a magnet.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, consider the rod's slenderness ratio. A 12 mm rod extending beyond 300 mm can buckle under high side loads; use an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod and bearing.
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. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the pull force is always lower due to the rod area.
Yes, if you need the 30 mm stroke adjustment feature. The SCJ32X50-30S shares the same bore, port size (PT1/8), and rod thread (M10x1.25) as an SC32. Just ensure the slightly longer body length (182 mm) fits your mounting space.
