The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X450-100S 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 SCJ100X450-100S delivers a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerful solution for heavy-duty applications requiring fine-tuned linear motion. Its 100 mm adjustable stroke range, controlled by a rear-cap screw, allows operators to precisely set the stroke end position anywhere within the full 450 mm nominal length, ideal for commissioning and format changes on large-scale equipment.
This double-acting, single-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and a 29 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. The integrated magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection. With a body length of 245 mm, it provides a maximum theoretical force of 801 kgf, suitable for demanding industrial automation tasks.

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.
Fine-tune the stroke end on a conveyor diverter gate to accommodate different package sizes without mechanical stops, using the 100 mm adjustment range for quick changeovers.
Dial in the exact insertion depth for pressing bearings or bushings. The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles tough fits, while the adjustable stroke ensures consistent, controlled final positions.
Adapt the clamp stroke for varying workpiece thicknesses in welding or machining fixtures. The rear adjusting screw provides a secure, repeatable end-stop that can be tweaked as tooling wears.
For applications needing a step up in force, the SCJ125 bore offers 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If a fixed stroke is sufficient, the standard SC100 series provides a more economical choice without the adjustable feature. This SCJ model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100X450-100S cylinder, matching the bore, 450 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT ports, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
At a 450 mm stroke, careful consideration of side loads is essential to prevent rod bending. Ensure the load is guided externally or consider a guided cylinder if significant off-axis forces are present during the extend and retract cycle.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A screw in the rear cap acts as an internal stop for the piston, allowing you to shorten the stroke end by up to 100 mm from its nominal 450 mm maximum. It does not change the cylinder's force output or speed, only the physical stopping point of the rod.
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N due to the single rod design. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches a theoretical 7068 N.
