The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X400-75 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, 400mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X400-75 delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa from its 100 mm bore, making it a workhorse for heavy-duty clamping and pressing tasks. Its defining feature is the rear-cap adjusting screw, which provides up to 75 mm of stroke-end fine-tuning without removing the cylinder, letting you dial in the exact stopping position on the fly.
This double-acting, single-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 ports, with an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly. The tie-rod construction and 245 mm body length (A dimension) offer a rigid, serviceable package, and the 400 mm nominal stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore.

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.

Fine-tune the open and closed positions of a heavy-duty diverter gate on a conveyor line to ensure reliable product routing.
For applications needing a bit less force, stepping down to a 80 mm bore provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 125 mm bore jumps to 6136 N. This SCJ model is the right choice when you need to fine-tune the stroke end for format changes or wear compensation, unlike a fixed-stroke SC cylinder. If the 400 mm stroke creates a risk of rod buckling under side loads, pair the cylinder with an external guide rail or consider a guided cylinder assembly.
For a direct replacement, match an AirTAC SCJ adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 100 mm bore, 400 mm nominal stroke, and a 75 mm adjustment range. Ensure the port thread is PT and the mounting style is basic, as this model has no magnet or special seals.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. The maximum push force at 1.0 MPa is 7068 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is always greater than the pull force.
Yes, the SCJ100X400-75 can replace a fixed-stroke SC cylinder of the same bore and nominal stroke, but you gain the ability to shorten the stroke end by up to 75 mm. Ensure the mounting, port thread (PT), and lack of a magnet match your existing setup.
