The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-20H 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, 50mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X50-20H is a 100 mm bore, double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm nominal stroke and a 20 mm rear adjusting screw for fine-tuning the stroke end. Built with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, it operates reliably from 0 to +150°C, making it suitable for hot environments where standard seals would degrade. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force, with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable air cushion for smooth deceleration and a body length A of 245 mm. The stroke-end screw allows operators to dial in the exact stop position on the machine without swapping the cylinder, ideal for commissioning new tooling or compensating for wear. It is a genuine AirTAC unit, ensuring consistent performance and parts interchangeability with your existing SCJ series equipment.

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 Viton seals allow this cylinder to operate in presses, autoclaves, or drying ovens where ambient temperatures reach up to 150°C, with the 20 mm adjustment used to set precise platen closure.
Delivers nearly 4000 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable stroke end is perfect for fine-tuning clamp pressure on varying workpiece thicknesses in a welding or assembly fixture.
Used as a heavy-duty product stop on a conveyor line, the rear screw provides quick, tool-free adjustment of the stop position during product changeovers, without needing to remount the cylinder.
Choose the SCJ100X50-20H when you need a robust, field-adjustable stroke end in a high-temperature application. If 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is more than required, stepping down to a 80 mm bore SCJ provides 2513 N. For applications needing a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, a standard SC100X50 cylinder is a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. This model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ100X50-20H cylinder with PT ports and Viton seals.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. The pull force is lower due to the area of the 25 mm rod. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N.
A screw in the rear cap sets the stroke end position. You can shorten the 50 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm. This allows for on-machine fine-tuning of the piston's stopping point without changing the cylinder or adding external hard stops.
