The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X70-10 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 10 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 70mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X70-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder from AirTAC, featuring a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides a 10 mm field-adjustable stroke end. With a 100 mm bore and 25 mm diameter piston rod, it delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy duty industrial positioning tasks where the final stroke length needs fine-tuning during commissioning or changeover.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a PT1/2 port and has an M20x1.5 rod thread. The adjustable air cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly. Its body length A(SCJ) is 245 mm for the base cylinder, and it operates within a standard pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa. The adjustable screw only sets the stroke end position; it does not alter the cylinder's force output or speed.

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.
Perfect for commissioning automated test fixtures where the final push position of a probe or clamp must be dialed in precisely on-site to accommodate part tolerances, using the rear screw for quick 10 mm adjustments.
Used on packaging lines to adjust the stroke of a diverter gate or pusher arm. The 10 mm fine-tuning range allows operators to quickly adapt to different box or product sizes without replacing the cylinder.
In high-cycle clamping operations, the adjustable stroke can be periodically tweaked to compensate for wear on contact pads or tooling, maintaining consistent clamping force without needing immediate part replacement.
Choose the SCJ100X70-10 when you require a powerful, 100 mm bore cylinder but need the ability to precisely dial in the stroke end position by up to 10 mm on the machine. This is a step up in force from the 80 mm bore SCJ (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) and a step down from the 125 mm bore (6136 N push). If your application requires a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC100 series is a more economical choice. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 70 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and basic mounting style.
For this 70 mm stroke, side-loading is typically not a primary concern, but always ensure the load is guided and aligned axially with the piston rod to prevent premature seal and bearing wear. If the load cannot be perfectly aligned, consider adding an external guide rail.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A threaded screw in the rear end cap acts as an internal, adjustable stop for the piston. Turning this screw changes the retracted end position of the stroke by up to 10 mm, allowing you to shorten the 70 mm nominal stroke without disassembling the cylinder. It does not affect the extend stroke or the cylinder's force.
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SCJ100X70-10 provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. The pull force is lower because the piston rod reduces the effective area on the return side. At its maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N.
