The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X100-20S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 20 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X100-20S delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its rear adjusting screw provides a 20 mm range to fine-tune the stroke end position, making it ideal for commissioning and format changeovers without swapping the cylinder.
This 50 mm bore tie-rod cylinder uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion, with a 21 mm cushion length, ensures smooth deceleration. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection.

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 | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 20 mm adjustment range allows technicians to quickly fine-tune the actuator's end stop during initial machine setup, eliminating the need for shims or external hard stops.
On packaging lines, the adjustable stroke lets operators rapidly reset the pusher stroke length for different box or product sizes, minimizing downtime between batches.
In clamping or pressing fixtures, the screw can be advanced over time to take up mechanical wear in tooling, maintaining consistent clamping force without replacing the cylinder.
Choose the SCJ50X100-20S when you need to dial in a precise stroke end on the machine. If your force requirement is lower, the 40 mm bore SCJ40 series provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for more power, the 63 mm bore SCJ63 steps up to 1559 N. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC series is a more economical choice. This model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ50X100-20S cylinder with PT ports and a magnet.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this double-acting cylinder produces 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
Yes, if you need field adjustability. The SCJ50X100-20S shares the same mounting footprint and port size as the SC50X100. Ensure your application can accommodate the slightly longer rear cap that houses the adjusting screw.
