The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X25-20H 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. Ø100mm bore, 25mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCJ100X25-20H is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that provides up to 20 mm of field-adjustable stroke reduction. This allows precise end-stop tuning for a 25 mm nominal stroke without replacing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod through PT1/2 ports.
This model is equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, designated by the 'H' suffix, extending the operating temperature range from 0 to +150°C for demanding hot environments. The tie-rod construction incorporates an adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration. The body length for this 100mm bore SCJ series is 245 mm, making it a compact solution for applications requiring high force and fine stroke adjustment.

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.

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 commissioning to perfectly align tooling or stops, using the 20 mm adjustment range to dial in the exact position required.
Provides consistent, adjustable clamping force in heated presses or thermoforming tools, where the Viton seals reliably operate at temperatures up to 150°C.
Adjust the stroke end to compensate for wear on contact surfaces or tooling over time, maintaining precise machine cycles without replacing the cylinder or adding external shims.
Choose the SCJ100X25-20H when you need substantial clamping or pressing force with the ability to fine-tune the stroke end position on the machine. If 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. For a lighter, more compact solution, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N. This adjustable-stroke model is ideal for commissioning and format changes; if a fixed stroke is sufficient, the standard SC series is a simpler alternative. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A screw in the rear cap limits the piston's retraction, allowing you to shorten the stroke end by up to 20 mm. The 25 mm is the maximum nominal stroke. This adjustment is mechanical and does not change the cylinder's force output, which is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
A direct replacement must match the SCJ adjustable-stroke series with a 100 mm bore, 25 mm nominal stroke, and a 20 mm adjustment range. It must also have PT1/2 ports and Viton seals (suffix 'H'). Mounting accessories like FA, LB, or TC trunnion must be ordered separately using the F-SC100 code pattern.
