The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X250-20TC 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, 250mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X250-20TC delivers a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerful solution for heavy-duty industrial automation. Its rear adjusting screw provides a 20 mm field-adjustable stroke range, allowing precise end-position tuning without cylinder replacement.
Equipped with a centre trunnion (TC) mount and TCM1 bracket, this model is ideal for pivoting applications. The 25 mm piston rod and PT1/2 port ensure high flow and structural rigidity, with a body length (A) of 245 mm.

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.
Quickly adjust the end stop for different product sizes on packaging or assembly lines, minimizing downtime between batches.
Fine-tune the push stroke for diverters or stops on conveyor systems, accommodating wear or slight variations in product positioning.
Dial in the exact clamping depth or pressing distance for consistent results on parts with varying tolerances.
For higher force requirements, the SCJ125 series offers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a fixed stroke is sufficient, the standard SC100 series provides a simpler, non-adjustable alternative. This SCJ100X250-20TC is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100 cylinder with a 250 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjust range, PT ports, and TC mount.
At a 250 mm stroke, consider external guides if significant side loads are present to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
A screw in the rear cap allows you to shorten the stroke end by up to 20 mm. This sets the piston's stopping point without affecting the cylinder's force or speed, unlike a flow control.
