The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X450-20TC is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 20 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X450-20TC is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa into a 450 mm nominal stroke, with a rear-cap adjusting screw providing up to 20 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end reduction. Its 25 mm diameter rod, PT1/2 port, and 29 mm air cushion make it a robust workhorse for applications where the end position must be dialled in precisely without swapping the cylinder.
This model is configured with a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot as the load moves through an arc. The body length A(SCJ) is 245 mm, and the adjustable cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.

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.
The 20 mm adjustment screw lets technicians compensate for product thickness variations or seal-bar wear without stopping the line to change the cylinder, keeping cartoners and case packers running at target OEE.
With the TC centre trunnion mount, this 100 mm bore cylinder swings a diverter gate through its arc. The adjustable stroke sets the exact gate angle for reliable sortation of parcels or food trays.
In a woodworking or welding fixture, the rear screw adjusts the clamp's final closed position by up to 20 mm to accommodate different workpiece thicknesses, ensuring consistent clamping pressure without mechanical shims.
Choose the SCJ100X450-20TC when you need 3927 N of push force and the ability to fine-tune the stroke end by up to 20 mm during commissioning or format changes. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size; for higher force, the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N push. The TC trunnion mount is ideal for swinging loads, but if the load path is purely linear, a basic or LB foot-mounted SCJ100 would be a simpler fit.
At a 450 mm stroke, rod deflection under side load becomes a real consideration—if the load is not guided externally, add a guide rail or consider a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearings and seal. For a direct replacement, match an AirTAC SCJ100 with a 450 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjust range, PT1/2 ports, and the TC centre trunnion mounting.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it delivers 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling (the difference is due to the 25 mm single rod). At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 7854 N.
Yes, if you need the same 100 mm bore, 450 mm nominal stroke, and PT1/2 ports, but also want the ability to shorten the stroke end by up to 20 mm. Ensure the TC trunnion mounting and TCM1 bracket match your machine's pivot point, and note the SCJ body is slightly longer than the fixed-stroke SC to house the adjusting mechanism.
