About the Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC
The SCJ100X50-30TC is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts fine stroke-end adjustment directly on the machine. Its rear-cap screw provides a 30 mm adjustment range, letting you dial in the exact 50 mm nominal stroke end position without adding external hard stops—ideal for commissioning trials or format changeovers on packaging and assembly lines.
At 100 mm bore, this cylinder delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod. The TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC100TC) allows the cylinder body to pivot, accommodating swinging loads. The rod is threaded M20x1.5 and the ports are PT1/2, with an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC |
|---|---|
| Series | SCJ adjustable-stroke tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 50 mm |
| Stroke adjustment | Up to 30 mm (rear adjusting screw) |
| Acting type | Double acting (single rod) |
| Port size | PT1/2 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 29 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1500 mm |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC Is Used
End-Stop Commissioning
Fine-tune the 50 mm stroke end position by up to 30 mm during machine setup without removing the cylinder or machining custom stops, speeding up production line validation.
Format Changeover
Quickly adjust the push stroke on a case packer or palletiser when switching between product sizes, using the rear screw to set the new insertion depth in seconds.
Wear Compensation
Take up mechanical play in linkages or gripper fingers over time by advancing the stroke end, maintaining consistent clamping force without replacing the actuator.
Is the Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SCJ100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard shop air. If you can step down, an SCJ80 delivers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and may reduce air consumption; if you need more force, the SCJ125 provides 6136 N. This TC trunnion-mounted version is the right pick when the cylinder must pivot during its stroke—if your load travels in a straight line, a basic or foot-mounted (LB) SCJ100X50-30 is simpler.
For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 50 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT1/2 ports, and the TC centre trunnion mounting. Note that the SCJ does not include a magnet as standard; if you need piston position sensing, specify the -S suffix. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-loading and rod buckling—consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune stroke on the line?
- ✓ Nominal stroke + adjust range (-30)
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the rear adjusting screw, then lock it before running.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCJ mounting accessory (FA / LB / TC / TCM1).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X50-30TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N (the difference is due to the 25 mm rod area). At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force is 7068 N. Always apply a safety factor for dynamic loads.
Yes, provided the mounting style is compatible. The SCJ100 adds a rear adjusting screw, making the body slightly longer than a standard SC100. You must match the 100 mm bore, PT1/2 ports, and centre trunnion (TC) mount. The SCJ allows you to shorten the stroke end by up to 30 mm, which is not possible with a fixed-stroke SC.
