The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X30-30 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 30 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 30mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X30-30 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, letting you fine-tune the 30 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm using the rear-cap screw. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a compact powerhouse for heavy clamping and pressing tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and a 29 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. The tie-rod body measures 245 mm (A dimension), providing a rigid, serviceable structure. As a genuine AirTAC SCJ unit, it offers dependable, repeatable performance for applications where the stroke must be dialed in precisely on the machine.

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.
Ideal for commissioning and fine-tuning automated assembly fixtures where the final actuator position must be dialed in to within a fraction of a millimeter after installation, without swapping the cylinder.
Used on heavy-duty pushers and reject stations on conveyors. The 30 mm adjustment range allows operators to compensate for wear on contact pads or guide rails, maintaining consistent product positioning over time.
Suited for clamping workpieces of varying thicknesses in welding or machining fixtures. The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides a secure hold, while the adjustable stroke prevents over-travel on thinner parts.
Choose the SCJ100X30-30 when you need high force in a short, tunable stroke. If 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is more than required, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC100 series is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. This is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100X30-30 cylinder with PT ports and basic mounting. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A rear-cap adjusting screw limits the piston's retraction, effectively shortening the stroke end position by up to 30 mm. The 30 mm nominal stroke is the maximum; you can reduce it anywhere within the 30 mm adjustment range to fine-tune the cylinder's stopping point for your specific application.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is higher than the pull force due to the area of the 25 mm rod. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 7068 N.
