The AirTAC Airtac SCJ32 Standard Cylinder SCJ32X80-20 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, 80mm nominal stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ32X80-20 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts stroke-end fine-tuning directly into the rear cap. Its 20 mm adjusting screw lets you dial in the exact stopping position without adding external hard stops, making commissioning and format changes on small-bore tooling far quicker. The 12 mm piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread handle push forces up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 21 mm air cushion at each end protects the end caps from impact.
At a nominal 80 mm stroke, this cylinder operates comfortably within the 32 mm bore's 1000 mm maximum standard stroke. The body length A is 182 mm, and the tie-rod construction keeps it serviceable. It runs on standard filtered air (40 µm) from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a piston speed range of 30–800 mm/s. A genuine AirTAC unit, it is a direct drop-in replacement for an existing SCJ32X80-20 of the same configuration.

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 20 mm rear screw allows engineers to precisely dial in the stroke end on a new assembly fixture without re-machining hard stops, speeding up initial machine setup.
Adjust the push-out stroke for different product heights on a conveyor line. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily handles lightweight plastic or cardboard items.
In a repetitive clamping operation, the adjusting screw can compensate for jaw or pad wear over time, maintaining consistent clamping pressure without replacing the cylinder.
Choose the SCJ32X80-20 when you need a compact, adjustable end-stop for light pushing, clamping, or ejection tasks. If your force requirement grows, stepping up to the 40 mm bore (SCJ40) delivers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, a 56% increase, while keeping the same PT1/4 port. For applications that do not require stroke adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC32X80 is a simpler, slightly shorter alternative. When replacing this cylinder, match the bore (32 mm), nominal stroke (80 mm), adjust range (20 mm), PT1/8 port thread, and basic mounting style exactly.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
It is a single-rod cylinder, so push and pull forces are different. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N.
Yes, this is a direct replacement for an AirTAC SCJ32X80-20. Ensure your existing unit has the same 20 mm adjust range, PT1/8 ports, and basic mounting. The adjustable stroke feature is identical, so your current end-stop setting will be within the same adjustment window.
