The AirTAC Airtac SCJ63 Standard Cylinder SCJ63X100-20STC 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. Ø63mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ63X100-20STC is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder featuring a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides a 20 mm field-adjustable stroke-end range. With a 63 mm bore, it delivers 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for applications requiring fine-tuned end-position control without swapping the cylinder.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and is equipped with a centre trunnion (TC) pivot mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, ideal for swinging loads. The 20 mm rod, PT1/4 ports, and 28 mm air cushion ensure smooth, reliable operation within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range.

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 | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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.

Quickly adjust the end stop for different product sizes on a packaging line, eliminating the need for mechanical shims or multiple cylinder changes during batch runs.
Dial in the exact clamping depth on a welding or assembly fixture to accommodate slight variations in workpiece thickness without losing clamping force.
Compensate for the gradual wear of tooling or gripper pads over time by adjusting the cylinder's end position, maintaining consistent process quality.
Choose the SCJ63X100-20STC when you need to commission a machine stop position precisely within a 20 mm window. If the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N of push force. For applications where the stroke never needs field adjustment, a fixed-stroke SC63X100 cylinder is a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ63X100-20 with a centre trunnion mount, magnet, and PT ports.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1559 N and the pull force is 1402 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 2805 N. The pull force is lower due to the area of the 20 mm piston rod.
A screw in the rear cap sets the stroke end position. You can shorten the 100 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm. This adjusts the piston's stopping point in the extend direction only; it does not change the cylinder's force or speed capability.
