The AirTAC Airtac SCJ250 Standard Cylinder SCJ250X1000-40S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 40 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø250mm bore, 1000mm nominal stroke, PT1" ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ250X1000-40S is a large-bore, double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications where a long stroke and massive force must be combined with field-adjustable end-position tuning. With a 250 mm bore and a nominal 1000 mm stroke, it delivers a substantial 24544 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, while the integrated 40 mm rear adjusting screw lets operators fine-tune the stroke end to accommodate wear, tooling changes, or process optimization without dismounting the cylinder.
This ISO 6430 class tie-rod cylinder features a 50 mm diameter piston rod and a 1-inch PT port for high flow. The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors along the barrel for reliable, non-contact end-of-stroke detection. Its 40 mm adjustable cushion decelerates heavy loads smoothly at the end of travel, protecting the machine structure.

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 | 24544 N | 23562 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 34361 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 5006 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.

Fine-tune the final pressing depth on large hydraulic-pneumatic forming presses by adjusting the rear screw, compensating for tooling wear or material thickness variations without reprogramming the press controls.

Use the adjustable stroke to set the end-stop for a log fence on a large bandsaw. The 24544 N push force easily positions heavy timber, and the stroke can be tweaked to account for blade kerf changes.
Select the SCJ250X1000-40S when your application demands the highest force in the SCJ family and the ability to fine-tune the stroke end point by up to 40 mm. If the 24544 N push force at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, stepping down to a 200 mm bore reduces the push force to 15708 N, saving energy and physical space. For applications where the stroke length is fixed and never needs adjustment, the standard SC fixed-stroke cylinder is a more economical choice. As a direct replacement, match the 250 mm bore, 1000 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. For this 1000 mm stroke length, carefully evaluate side-loading; if the rod is not guided externally, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 24544 N and the pull force is 23562 N. The push force is greater because the single piston rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 5006 kgf.
The rear-cap adjusting screw shortens the stroke end by up to 40 mm from the nominal 1000 mm maximum. It is a direct dimensional replacement for another AirTAC SCJ250X1000-40S with the same bore, stroke, adjust range, PT port, and -S magnet. It cannot be directly replaced by a fixed-stroke SC cylinder if the adjustable feature is required.
