The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X450-100 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, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X450-100 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications where the stroke end position must be tuned on the machine. A rear-cap adjusting screw provides a full 100 mm of adjustment range, allowing the effective stroke to be shortened from its 450 mm nominal maximum without changing the cylinder body. This 100 mm bore unit delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
Built on a rugged tie-rod platform, the SCJ100 uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, provides smooth deceleration at the stroke end. The body length A(SCJ) is 245 mm, making it a compact solution for its force class. This model is configured with the standard TPU seal, PT threads, and a basic mounting style, ready for direct integration or custom bracketry.

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.

The 100 mm adjustment range lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end during initial machine setup without swapping cylinders or machining hard stops, dramatically reducing commissioning time for large assembly fixtures.
In packaging or material handling lines, the stroke can be quickly re-adjusted for different product sizes or pallet dimensions. The 450 mm nominal stroke and 100 mm adjust range provide the flexibility to handle multiple formats with a single actuator.
For high-cycle clamping or pressing operations, the adjusting screw can be used to take up mechanical wear in tooling or workpieces over time, maintaining consistent clamp force and position without reprogramming the machine controller.
Choose the SCJ100 when you need the force of a 100 mm bore—3927 N push at 0.5 MPa—with the ability to fine-tune the stroke end point. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC100 series is a simpler alternative. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ100 with a 450 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjust range, and PT ports.
At a 450 mm stroke, the piston rod is fully supported by the front bushing, but any significant side load from a misaligned tool or offset load can cause rod bending or premature seal wear. If your application cannot guarantee a purely axial load, use an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod and ensure long service life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The pull force is lower than the push force because the piston rod reduces the effective area on the return side.
No. The SCJ100 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjusting screw only sets the physical stroke end limit; it is not a locking device. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod brake.
