The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X225-75 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 75 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 225mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X225-75 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke, built around a 100 mm bore and a 25 mm diameter piston rod. Its rear-cap adjusting screw provides up to 75 mm of stroke-end retraction, letting you fine-tune the 225 mm nominal stroke without swapping the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke, making it a strong candidate for heavy-duty positioning tasks where the final stop point must be dialed in during commissioning or changeover.
This genuine AirTAC SCJ unit uses a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with a 29 mm air cushion to decelerate the piston quietly. The tie-rod construction keeps it serviceable, and the 75 mm adjustment range is practical for taking up tooling wear or accommodating different product heights on the same fixture. Body length A for this bore is 245 mm, providing a compact footprint for its force class.

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 | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 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.

Dial in the exact end-stop position during machine bring-up without machining new stops or shimming. The 75 mm range lets integrators quickly test different stroke lengths to optimize cycle time and placement accuracy.
Adjust the stroke end to match a new product height or width on a packaging or assembly line. Operators can reset the stop in minutes using the rear screw, minimizing downtime between batches.
Take up mechanical play or tooling wear over time by slightly extending the effective stroke. This keeps clamping or pressing forces consistent without replacing the entire actuator.
Choose the SCJ100 when you need roughly 4000 N of push force at standard shop air and the ability to tweak the stroke end by up to 75 mm. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N. This adjustable-stroke model is the right pick when the machine’s end-stop position is not yet final or needs periodic adjustment—if the stroke is fixed and never changes, the standard SC100 fixed-stroke cylinder is a more economical alternative. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 225 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjustment range (-75), and PT port thread. At this 225 mm stroke, ensure the rod is guided externally if significant side loads are present, or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. The push force is higher because the single rod reduces the piston area on the pull side. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N.
The rear adjusting screw physically limits how far the piston rod can extend, shortening the stroke end by up to 75 mm from the 225 mm nominal maximum. It is a mechanical stop for stroke setting only—it does not lock the piston in place. If air pressure is lost, the rod can drift, so an external lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
