The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X120-100S 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 SCJ50X120-100S is a 50 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder with a generous 100 mm rear-end stroke adjustment, letting you dial in the exact stroke end position from 20 mm up to the full 120 mm nominal length. Its 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports deliver a robust 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a workhorse for mid-range pneumatic tasks that need frequent fine-tuning.
This model includes a built-in magnet, so you can clip CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback. The standard TPU seal and PT thread keep it compatible with most factory air systems, and the 21 mm air cushion at each end protects the end caps during high-cycle operation.

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.

Fine-tune the end stop during initial machine run-off without disconnecting air lines or removing the cylinder, saving hours of mechanical adjustment time.
Quickly adapt the stroke for different product sizes on a packaging or sorting line by turning the rear screw, eliminating the need for multiple fixed-stroke cylinders.
Take up mechanical play in linkages or compensate for gradual tooling wear by extending the effective stroke, maintaining consistent process quality over long production runs.
Choose the SCJ50X120-100S when you need to commission a machine with a variable stroke end or accommodate wear on tooling without swapping the cylinder. If 982 N push force is marginal, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same 0.5 MPa; if space is tight, the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N. For a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC series is a simpler and more cost-effective alternative. This cylinder is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ50X120-100S with a PT port, basic mount, and magnet.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N. The rear adjusting screw changes only the stroke end position, not the output force.
The rear cap screw mechanically limits how far the piston retracts, giving you an adjustable stroke end within a 100 mm range. Use the SCJ when your application needs field-tunable stroke length for setup, format changes, or wear take-up. Choose a standard SC cylinder if your stroke requirement is fixed and will never need adjustment.
