The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X450-50 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X450-50 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications demanding a long, field-tunable stroke. Its 100 mm bore generates a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the rear-cap adjusting screw provides a 50 mm range to precisely dial in the stroke end position without removing the cylinder from the machine.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 port connections, and a 29 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. The tie-rod construction and adjustable end-stop make it ideal for commissioning, format changeovers, and compensating for tooling wear in heavy-duty automation.

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 end-of-stroke position during initial machine commissioning with the 50 mm adjustment range, eliminating the need for shims or custom hard stops on large assembly fixtures.
Quickly adapt the cylinder's stroke end for different product sizes on a packaging or palletizing line, reducing downtime between batches without swapping the actuator.
Compensate for gradual wear on clamps, pressing tools, or gripper jaws over time by adjusting the stroke end, maintaining consistent contact pressure and part quality.
Step up to this 100 mm bore when the 2513 N push force of the SCJ80 is insufficient for your load. If you require a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC100 series offers the same force output without the rear adjusting mechanism. For applications with significant side loading on this 450 mm stroke, an external guide rod assembly or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ100 adjustable-stroke unit with a 450 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjust range, PT ports, and basic mounting. Always verify that the replacement matches the bore, nominal stroke, adjust range, and port thread to guarantee identical performance.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa upper limit is 7068 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the pull force on the retract stroke is lower, at 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area of the 25 mm rod.
Yes, the SCJ100X450-50 can replace a fixed-stroke SC100X450 if you need the ability to fine-tune the stroke end. The mounting dimensions, port size (PT1/2), and force output are identical. The SCJ body is slightly longer to house the adjusting screw, so ensure you have clearance at the rear cap.
