The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X300-40 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 40 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 300mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X300-40 delivers a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a workhorse for mid-to-heavy linear applications that demand on-the-fly stroke tuning. Its 25 mm piston rod and PT1/2 ports handle substantial flow, while the rear adjusting screw provides up to 40 mm of stroke-end reduction without dismounting the cylinder.
This double-acting, single-rod cylinder uses a tie-rod construction and features an adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration. The body length A(SCJ) is 245 mm, and the unit operates reliably between -20 and +70 °C with the standard TPU seals, suiting general-purpose industrial environments.

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 dial in a new stroke end position for packaging machines or palletizers that handle different box sizes, eliminating manual stop adjustments.
Set a precise clamp depth or press stroke for assembly fixtures. The 40 mm adjustment range allows fine control to avoid part damage or ensure consistent bond lines.
During machine setup, the screw lets you compensate for tooling tolerances. Over time, it can be adjusted to take up mechanical wear in linkages, maintaining cycle accuracy.
Choose this 100 mm bore model when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force. If you require less force, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. This SCJ is the right choice over a fixed-stroke SC when you need to fine-tune the end position during commissioning or for different product runs.
For this 300 mm stroke, be mindful of side loads which can cause rod bending; use an external guide or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. As a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 300 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and basic mounting. The adjustable range is key—a different -{adj} value will change the cylinder's minimum working stroke.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 7068 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the pull force is always lower due to the rod area.
Only if you need the adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ100X300-40 has a rear screw that shortens the stroke by up to 40 mm, making the body slightly longer than a fixed-stroke SC. It is a direct dimensional match for another AirTAC SCJ100X300-40 with the same port and mounting options.
