The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X250-75 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, 250mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X250-75 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a workhorse for heavy-duty linear applications. Its defining feature is a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides a 75 mm field-adjustable stroke range, allowing you to fine-tune the stroke end position without removing the cylinder from the machine.
Built on a robust tie-rod design with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, this cylinder is engineered for reliable performance. The 29 mm air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps from impact, while the 245 mm body length (A dimension) provides a compact footprint for its 250 mm nominal stroke.

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.

In automated welding or assembly fixtures, the 75 mm adjustment range allows operators to precisely set the clamping stroke to accommodate varying part thicknesses or to compensate for electrode wear over time, ensuring consistent clamp force.
For conveyor systems handling different package sizes, the adjustable stroke lets a single SCJ100 actuator serve multiple product lanes. The stroke end can be quickly re-set for a new box width, eliminating the need for mechanical stop changes.
During the setup of a bearing or bushing press, the 75 mm stroke-end screw provides a fine-tuning mechanism to control the final insertion depth. This allows for quick recipe changes between different product models without swapping the cylinder.
Select the SCJ100X250-75 when your application demands high force and the ability to dial in the exact stroke end position on-site, such as during commissioning or format changes. If you need more force, step up to the 125 mm bore which provides 6136 N of push force; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N. This adjustable-stroke model is ideal when the stroke requirement is not yet fixed, but if your stroke is already determined and will not change, a fixed-stroke SC100X250 cylinder is a more economical choice. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 250 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjust range, and PT port thread.
For this 250 mm stroke, always ensure the rod is guided if it experiences significant side loads to prevent bending and premature seal wear. An external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder assembly is recommended for non-axial loads.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
The adjustment is made via a screw mechanism in the rear end cap. This screw acts as an internal, moveable stop for the piston, allowing you to shorten the stroke end position by up to 75 mm from its maximum of 250 mm. It adjusts the retracted end position, not the extension force or speed.
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 3927 N, and the pull force on the rod retract is 3681 N. The force is directly proportional to air pressure; at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. These values are for a static load; dynamic forces require a safety factor.
