The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X70-20S 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, 70mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X70-20S is a compact double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts stroke-end fine-tuning directly in your hands. With a 32 mm bore and a 12 mm piston rod, it delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the rear adjusting screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm without dismounting the unit. This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing.
The adjustable range is ideal for commissioning trials, format changeovers, or taking up mechanical wear on small automation cells. Its 182 mm body length (A dimension) keeps the footprint tight, and the standard PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread integrate easily into existing sub-assemblies. The 21 mm air cushion at each end ensures quiet, controlled deceleration within a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

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 retract stroke end position during machine setup. The 20 mm screw adjustment allows operators to dial in the exact stopping point for pick-and-place heads without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the gate opening stroke on a packaging line conveyor. The built-in magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation via a DMSG sensor, ensuring the gate is fully open or closed after each format change.
Use the adjustable stroke to compensate for jaw or pad wear in a repetitive clamping fixture. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides secure holding, while the screw takes up the slack over time.
Step up to the 40 mm bore SCJ (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your application demands more force, or drop to a fixed-stroke SC32 if the stroke never needs field adjustment. The SCJ32X70-20S is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ32 with a 70 mm nominal stroke, a 20 mm adjust range, PT ports, and a magnet, provided the mounting style matches. Since this is a basic mount model, it requires external brackets for installation; the FA front flange or LB foot mount are available as accessories. For strokes over 300 mm, evaluate side-loading on the 12 mm rod and consider adding an external guide rail.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. Remember that as a single-rod cylinder, the push force is always greater than the pull force due to the area of the 12 mm rod.
Yes, if you need the ability to fine-tune the stroke end. The SCJ32X70-20S matches the mounting footprint of a standard SC32 but adds a rear adjusting screw that can shorten the stroke by up to 20 mm. Ensure the port size (PT1/8), magnet option (S), and mounting accessories are compatible with your existing setup.
