The AirTAC Airtac SCJ40 Standard Cylinder SCJ40X250-75S 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. Ø40mm bore, 250mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCJ40X250-75S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder featuring a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides up to 75 mm of field-adjustable stroke reduction. With a 40 mm bore and 16 mm diameter piston rod, this unit delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a versatile actuator for applications requiring fine-tuned end-position control without swapping the cylinder.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A(SCJ) is 185 mm, and the standard PT1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread ensure straightforward integration into existing pneumatic circuits. Its 21 mm air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at the stroke end.

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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.

The 75 mm adjustable stroke allows technicians to fine-tune the end-stop position on a new assembly line without removing the cylinder, speeding up initial setup and troubleshooting.
Quickly adapt the push stroke for different product sizes on a packaging line. The rear screw adjusts the final position, ensuring consistent placement without reprogramming a servo.
In a clamping fixture, the stroke can be slightly extended over time to compensate for pad wear, maintaining consistent clamping force without mechanical shims.
Choose the SCJ40X250-75S when you need to dial in a precise stroke end position during commissioning or format changes, with the flexibility of a 75 mm adjustment range. If your force requirement increases, stepping up to the 50 mm bore SCJ50 series provides 982 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For applications where the stroke is fixed and never needs field adjustment, the standard SC40 fixed-stroke cylinder offers a more economical solution.
This cylinder is a direct replacement for an existing AirTAC SCJ40X250-75S with a PT port and built-in magnet. For strokes of 250 mm, ensure the rod is adequately supported if significant side loads are present; an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder assembly will prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this cylinder generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N. The adjustable stroke screw does not alter the cylinder's force output.
The rear-cap adjusting screw mechanically limits how far the piston can extend, shortening the stroke by up to 75 mm from its nominal 250 mm maximum. This is a mechanical end-stop, not a locking device. The cylinder will not hold its position if air pressure is lost; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
