The AirTAC Airtac SCJ40 Standard Cylinder SCJ40X450-75S 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, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ40X450-75S is a single-rod double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a rear-cap adjusting screw that provides up to 75 mm of field-adjustable stroke reduction. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force, making it suitable for mid-range linear tasks where the end position needs fine-tuning without replacing the cylinder.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 16 mm diameter rod and PT1/4 port ensure a robust connection, while the adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly over the final 21 mm of travel.

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.
Engineers can precisely dial in the stroke end position during machine commissioning without cutting or swapping hard stops, saving significant setup time on packaging lines.
Quickly adjust the push stroke for different box sizes on a case packer. The 75 mm adjustment range accommodates multiple product formats with a single cylinder.
In clamping or pressing fixtures, the screw can be advanced over time to compensate for tooling or pad wear, maintaining consistent clamping force without reprogramming.
Choose the SCJ40 when you need to adjust the stroke end position on the fly during commissioning or format changeovers. If you require more force, stepping up to the SCJ50 provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For applications needing a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC series is a more economical choice. A direct replacement must match the 40 mm bore, 450 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. With a 450 mm stroke, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the load applies significant side force, to prevent rod bending and ensure long seal life.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. The push force is higher because the single rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 1256 N.
Yes, the SCJ40X450-75S shares the same bore, port, and mounting dimensions as the SC series. You can replace a fixed-stroke cylinder with this adjustable-stroke version to gain on-machine stroke tuning. Ensure your mounting and sensor setup is compatible, and note the SCJ body is slightly longer to house the adjusting mechanism.
