The AirTAC Airtac SCJ63 Standard Cylinder SCJ63X100-30H 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. Ø63mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ63X100-30H is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts fine stroke-end adjustment directly on the machine. Its rear-cap screw lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 30 mm without removing the cylinder, which is invaluable during commissioning or format changeovers. With a 20 mm rod and a 28 mm air cushion, it handles 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and can reach 2805 N at 0.9 MPa.
This variant is fitted with Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C for hot or aggressive environments. The body length A(SCJ) is 197 mm, and the standard PT1/4 ports keep plumbing straightforward. It is a genuine AirTAC adjustable-stroke cylinder built for repeatable, fine-tuned end positions in demanding thermal conditions.

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.

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.
In ovens or autoclaves operating up to 150 °C, the Viton seals and 30 mm adjustment screw allow operators to fine-tune the material stop position without disassembling the hot tooling.
When clamp pads wear over time, the rear screw can be turned to extend the effective stroke slightly, maintaining consistent clamping force without replacing the cylinder or adding shims.
On a packaging line running different box sizes, the 30 mm adjustment range lets a technician quickly dial in a new pusher end position, minimizing downtime between batches.
Step up to an 80 mm bore SCJ if your application needs more than 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa—the SCJ80 delivers 2513 N. For purely fixed-stroke tasks where no field adjustment is needed, the standard SC63 is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. If you require a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 100 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and Viton seal material exactly.
At a 100 mm stroke, rod bending is rarely a concern for a 20 mm rod under normal axial loads, but if your application introduces significant side forces, consider adding an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder to protect the rod and bearing.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1559 N and the pull force is 1402 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 2805 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is always greater than the pull force due to the rod area on the return side.
Yes, if you need the added benefit of a field-adjustable stroke end. The SCJ63X100-30H shares the same mounting footprint and port size as a standard SC63. Ensure you match the 100 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT threads, and Viton seals for a direct functional replacement.
