The AirTAC Airtac SCJ100 Standard Cylinder SCJ100X80-30STC is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 30 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø100mm bore, 80mm nominal stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ100X80-30STC is a 100 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that provides up to 30 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end reduction. With a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and a maximum push of 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, it handles heavy clamping, pressing, and positioning tasks where the final stroke length must be dialled in precisely during commissioning or changeover.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion (TC) pivot mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to swing for articulated linkages. The 25 mm piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm air cushion deliver robust, controlled motion in a body length of 245 mm (A dimension).

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 30 mm rear adjuster lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end position during machine setup, eliminating the need to shim or swap cylinders when integrating a 100 mm bore actuator into a new assembly line.
On packaging or filling lines, the adjustable stroke allows operators to quickly reset the pusher or stop position for different product sizes, using the 3927 N push force to handle dense cartons or containers.
In high-cycle clamping fixtures, the stroke-end screw can be advanced to compensate for pad wear or tooling creep, maintaining consistent clamp force without reprogramming the PLC or replacing the 100 mm cylinder.
Choose the SCJ100X80-30STC when you need 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure and the ability to fine-tune the stroke end by up to 30 mm without swapping the cylinder. If your force requirement drops, the 80 mm bore SCJ80 series provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for higher force, the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N. The centre trunnion mounting is ideal for pivoting applications—if a fixed linear mount is preferred, consider the basic or LB foot-mounted SCJ100 variants.
For replacement, match this unit with another AirTAC SCJ100 adjustable-stroke cylinder with an 80 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjust range, PT ports, TC mount, and magnet. If your application requires a fixed stroke with no field adjustment, the standard SC100 series is a simpler alternative. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N (reduced due to the 25 mm rod area). At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 7854 N, but the rated maximum is 7068 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, provided the mounting style, port thread, and magnet option match. The SCJ100X80-30STC has a centre trunnion mount and a body length of 245 mm (A dimension), which is slightly longer than a fixed-stroke SC100. Ensure your machine has clearance for the rear adjusting screw and that the 30 mm adjustment range suits your stroke-end tuning needs.
