The AirTAC Airtac SCJ250 Standard Cylinder SCJ250X1000-50S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø250mm bore, 1000mm nominal stroke, PT1" ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ250X1000-50S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder from AirTAC, engineered for heavy-duty applications requiring precise, field-adjustable stroke end positioning. With a 250 mm bore and a nominal 1000 mm stroke, the integrated rear adjusting screw provides a 50 mm range to fine-tune the retracted end position, delivering a substantial push force of 24544 N at 0.5 MPa. The 50 mm diameter piston rod and PT1 inch ports ensure robust air flow for consistent, powerful linear motion.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable pneumatic cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at the end of its travel, protecting the end cap and reducing noise. The built-in magnet (denoted by the 'S' suffix) allows for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the barrel for contactless position feedback. With a body length A(SCJ) of 409 mm, this ISO 6430 class cylinder is a reliable workhorse for demanding industrial tasks.

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 a large hydraulic-style pneumatic press by adjusting the SCJ's stroke end screw, ensuring consistent part compression without reprogramming the machine controller.
Adjust the retracted position of a high-capacity palletizer's pusher arm to accommodate different pallet sizes or layer heights, using the 50 mm screw range for quick format changeovers.
Compensate for wear on large sand mould flasks by incrementally adjusting the clamping cylinder's stroke end, maintaining a perfect seal and preventing flash without replacing the actuator.
Select the SCJ250X1000-50S when your application demands a high-force actuator with the flexibility to adjust the stroke end point by up to 50 mm during setup or changeovers. If your force requirements are lower, consider stepping down to the 200 mm bore model, which provides a 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa. For applications where the stroke is fixed and never needs adjustment, the standard SC250X1000-S cylinder offers a more economical, non-adjustable alternative. A direct replacement must match the 250 mm bore, 1000 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and the built-in magnet. For this 1000 mm stroke length, carefully evaluate side-loading; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 24544 N and the pull force is 23562 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 44178 N. The push force is higher because the rod reduces the effective piston area on the pull side.
The rear adjusting screw limits the retraction stroke, allowing you to shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm from the 1000 mm nominal maximum. It is a direct dimensional replacement for an SCJ250X1000-50S of the same configuration. If you are replacing a fixed-stroke SC250X1000-S, the SCJ will fit but adds the adjustment feature, making the body slightly longer.
