The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X275-20 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, 275mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X275-20 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, allowing operators to fine-tune the 275 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm via a rear-cap adjusting screw. This 100 mm bore cylinder delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy industrial linear applications where precise end-position control is required.
With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 porting, the SCJ100X275-20 integrates reliably into existing pneumatic circuits. The adjustable cushion provides smooth deceleration, while the tie-rod construction ensures robust, serviceable performance. The body length A(SCJ) is 245 mm, offering a compact footprint relative to its force output.

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.
Perfect for clamping fixtures where the final jaw position must be dialed in precisely after installation, compensating for workpiece or tooling tolerances without reprogramming the machine.
Ideal for conveyor diverters or pushers handling different box sizes. The 20 mm adjustment allows a quick mechanical stroke change to match a new product format without swapping the cylinder.
In high-cycle pressing or riveting operations, the adjustable screw can be used to take up mechanical wear in the tooling over time, maintaining consistent final position and product quality.
Select the SCJ100X275-20 when you need the 3927 N push force of a 100 mm bore but require the ability to dial in the stroke end position during commissioning or changeovers. If your application demands higher force, stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For applications that do not require stroke adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC100X275 is a direct alternative.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 275 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, and PT port thread. This model is configured with a basic mount; foot (LB), front flange (FA), or center trunnion (TC) mounting kits are available separately. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to manage potential rod deflection under side loads.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
The push force is 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pull force is lower due to the single 25 mm rod, providing 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa.
Yes, this is a direct dimensional and performance replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100X275-20 cylinder. Ensure your existing unit has the same 20 mm adjustment range, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting configuration. If your old unit had a magnet (S suffix) or different mount, select the corresponding option code.
