The AirTAC Airtac SCJ40 Standard Cylinder SCJ40X80-30STC is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 30 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø40mm bore, 80mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ40X80-30STC is a double-acting, single-rod air cylinder that lets you fine-tune the stroke end position by up to 30 mm using a rear-cap adjusting screw, without swapping the unit. With an 80 mm nominal stroke and 40 mm bore, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light-to-medium pneumatic tasks where precise end-stop setup speeds commissioning.
This model ships with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG sensors and a centre trunnion pivot (TC) that includes the TCM1 bracket, ideal for applications requiring the cylinder to swing. The 16 mm piston rod, PT1/4 ports, and 21 mm air cushion are standard for the 40 mm bore, and the body length A(SCJ) is 185 mm.

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.
Quickly fine-tune the end position of a stop gate on a conveyor during initial machine setup, eliminating the need for shims or custom brackets.
Adjust the stroke end for a diverter arm on a packaging line when switching between product sizes, reducing downtime between batches.
Periodically tweak the stroke end to compensate for seal wear or tooling drift in a clamping fixture, maintaining consistent clamping force over time.
Choose the SCJ40X80-30STC when you need to dial in a stroke end on the machine, such as during format changeovers. If you need more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N. The TC centre trunnion mount handles pivoting loads, but if your application has significant side forces, consider an external guide rail. This unit is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ40X80-30 with a magnet and TC mount using PT ports.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit reaches 1130 N. Remember, as a single-rod cylinder, the pull force is lower due to the rod area.
Yes, this specific model (SCJ40X80-30STC) includes the -S magnet option, so it is ready for AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
