The AirTAC Airtac SCJ40 Standard Cylinder SCJ40X350-50S 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. Ø40mm bore, 350mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ40X350-50S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a nominal stroke of 350 mm, featuring a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides a 50 mm field-adjustable stroke range. This allows fine-tuning of the stroke end position without removing the cylinder, ideal for commissioning and format changes. It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, using a 16 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (suffix -S), enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing. The cylinder body has an A(SCJ) length of 185 mm plus the nominal stroke, making it a compact yet powerful solution for automated equipment requiring variable end-stop positioning.

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.

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 50 mm adjustment range lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end for a new machine during initial setup, compensating for assembly tolerances without needing to swap the cylinder.
Quickly adapt a packaging machine's pusher stroke for different box sizes by adjusting the rear screw, minimizing downtime between production runs.
In high-cycle clamping or pressing fixtures, the adjustable stroke can be used to take up slack as tooling or contact surfaces wear, maintaining consistent clamping force over time.
Choose the SCJ40X350-50S when your application requires a stroke near 350 mm with the ability to fine-tune the end position by up to 50 mm. If you need more force, stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push force at the same pressure. For applications where the stroke is fixed and never needs adjustment, the standard SC series is a more cost-effective alternative. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 40 mm bore, 350 mm nominal stroke, a 50 mm adjustment range, PT ports, and a built-in magnet.
Given the 350 mm stroke, be mindful of side-loading on the 16 mm rod. If the load is not guided externally, the rod may be subject to bending moments. In such cases, use an external guide rail or consider a guided cylinder to ensure long seal life and reliable operation.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder produces 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1130 N. The adjusting screw changes the stroke end position, not the force output.
It can replace an SC of the same bore and a stroke up to 350 mm, but the SCJ body is slightly longer to house the adjustment mechanism. The key advantage is the 50 mm field-adjustable range, which the fixed-stroke SC does not offer. Ensure the mounting and port threads (PT) match.
