The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X500-75 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 75 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 500mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X500-75 is a double-acting, single-rod tie-rod cylinder that puts 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa into a field-adjustable stroke package. Its rear-cap adjusting screw lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 75 mm without swapping the cylinder, making it a practical choice for commissioning trials or format changeovers on medium-to-large automation frames. The 25 mm rod and PT1/2 ports handle the flow, while the 29 mm air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly.
With a body length A(SCJ) of 245 mm and a maximum standard stroke of 1500 mm for this bore, the unit operates on 0.15–1.0 MPa filtered air. At the 0.9 MPa upper limit, push thrust reaches 7068 N. The adjustable stroke end is purely mechanical—it sets the retract stop position and does not alter the cylinder's force rating or speed capability.

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.

Dial in the exact retract position during machine commissioning with the 75 mm adjusting screw, eliminating the need to shim or reposition hard stops.
Quickly adapt the stroke end for different product sizes on packaging or material-handling lines without changing the cylinder or plumbing.
Compensate for gripper pad or tooling wear over time by slightly shortening the stroke end, maintaining consistent part contact without reprogramming.
Step up to a 125 mm bore if your application demands more than the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa this SCJ100 delivers—the 125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. If your stroke never needs field adjustment, a fixed-stroke SC100X500 saves cost and a small amount of length. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 500 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjust range, PT port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. At 500 mm stroke, rod bending under side load becomes a real risk; use an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push thrust reaches 7068 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, push force is always greater than pull force.
Only if you need the adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ100X500-75 has the same bore, rod, and port dimensions as an SC100, but the rear adjusting screw adds length. Ensure your mounting space accommodates the longer SCJ body and that the 75 mm adjustment range suits your process.
