The AirTAC Airtac SCJ40 Standard Cylinder SCJ40X450-10S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 10 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø40mm bore, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCJ40X450-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that provides a 10 mm field-adjustable stroke range. With a 40 mm bore, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a practical actuator for mid-range linear tasks where the end position needs fine-tuning during commissioning or after mechanical wear.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 16 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 port ensure a solid connection, while the 21 mm air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends of its 450 mm nominal stroke.

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 10 mm rear screw adjustment lets technicians dial in the exact push-stroke endpoint on a new assembly line without swapping cylinders or machining external hard stops.
In high-cycle clamping fixtures, the adjustable stroke can be extended slightly over time to compensate for pad or workpiece wear, maintaining consistent clamping force without reprogramming.
Quickly adapt a diverter gate's throw distance for different box sizes on a packaging conveyor by adjusting the cylinder's stroke end, minimizing downtime between production runs.
Choose the SCJ40 when you need a 40 mm bore cylinder with a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and the ability to trim the stroke end by up to 10 mm. If your application demands more force, stepping up to the SCJ50 provides 982 N of push force at the same pressure. For applications that do not require stroke adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC40X450 is a more cost-effective alternative. This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ40X450-10S with a PT port, basic mount, and magnet.
With a 450 mm stroke, the piston rod is fully extended, which can create a significant side-load moment. To prevent rod bending and premature seal wear, always guide the load externally with a linear rail or use a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa (10 bar), the theoretical push force is 1130 N. The maximum practical force at the standard 0.9 MPa is 1017 N. The pull force is lower due to the rod area, at 528 N at 0.5 MPa.
Yes, this is a genuine AirTAC SCJ40X450-10S with a PT port, basic mount, and magnet. It is a direct dimensional and functional replacement for any cylinder with the same model code, ensuring identical mounting, port locations, and sensor compatibility.
