The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X120-100 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 100 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 120mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X120-100 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, letting you fine-tune the stopping position by up to 100 mm without swapping the unit. With a 50 mm bore, it delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for tasks that need repeatable end-point tweaking during commissioning or changeovers.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/4 ports, and an M16x1.5 rod thread for easy attachment. The adjustable screw is housed in the rear cap, and the body length A(SCJ) is 194 mm. Its 21 mm air cushion decelerates the piston quietly, and the standard TPU seal operates reliably from -20 to +70 °C.

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.
Adjust the 100 mm screw to precisely set the end-of-stroke position during initial machine setup, eliminating the need for custom-length cylinders or external hard stops.
Quickly adapt the cylinder's stroke for different product sizes on packaging or sorting lines by turning the rear adjusting screw, reducing downtime between batches.
Fine-tune the stroke end over the cylinder's life to compensate for mechanical wear in linkages or tooling, maintaining precise positioning without replacing parts.
Step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need more force for heavier tooling, or down to 40 mm (628 N) for lighter, faster-cycling tasks. The SCJ is the right choice when you need to dial in the stroke end on the machine—if the stroke length is fixed and never changes, a standard SC fixed-stroke cylinder is a simpler, more cost-effective alternative. For direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 120 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and basic mounting style.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force increases to 1767 N. The push force is higher than the pull force because the single rod reduces the piston area on the return side.
Yes, if you need the ability to adjust the stroke end. The SCJ50X120-100 is a direct dimensional replacement for another AirTAC SCJ of the same bore, nominal stroke, and 100 mm adjustment range. Ensure your mounting (basic), port thread (PT), and magnet options match.
