The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X260-100S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 100 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 260mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X260-100 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that provides a nominal 260 mm stroke, field-adjustable by up to 100 mm via a rear-cap screw. This allows machine builders to fine-tune the stroke end position without swapping the cylinder or adding external hard stops. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, while the pull force is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 25 mm piston rod.
The built-in magnet (suffix -S) lets you clamp CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke sensing. The cylinder uses PT1/2 ports, has a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, and a body length A of 245 mm. It is part of the AirTAC SCJ family, a tie-rod design that is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles, ensuring you get a genuine replacement that matches your existing SCJ100 setup.

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.
The 100 mm adjust range allows a single jig to accommodate different product heights by quickly turning the rear screw, eliminating the need for mechanical shims during changeovers.
As gripper pads or tooling wear down, the stroke end can be extended in fine increments to maintain consistent clamping pressure without reprogramming the PLC.
During initial setup, the 100 mm adjustable stroke lets engineers empirically find the optimal press depth, then lock the screw for repeatable 7068 N push cycles at full pressure.
Choose the SCJ100X260-100 when you need a robust 100 mm bore actuator with a stroke that must be dialled in precisely on the machine. If 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is more than your application requires, stepping down to an SCJ80 (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For applications needing a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC100 series is a simpler alternative. This model is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ100 cylinder with a 260 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjust range, PT ports, and a magnet. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always check for side-loading on the 25 mm rod; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling. The maximum push force at the 1.0 MPa operating limit is 7068 N. The rear adjusting screw only changes the stroke end position; it does not alter the cylinder's output force.
Yes, this is a direct dimensional and functional replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100 with a 260 mm nominal stroke, a 100 mm adjustment range, PT1/2 ports, and a magnet. Ensure your mounting style matches; this is a basic (no bracket) configuration.
