The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X125-50 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 125mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X125-50 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder that puts 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa behind a 20 mm diameter piston rod. Its defining feature is a rear-cap adjusting screw that lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm without removing the cylinder, giving you a true field-adjustable working range from 75 mm to the full 125 mm nominal stroke.
Built on the proven SC tie-rod platform, this 50 mm bore unit uses PT1/4 ports and an M16x1.5 rod thread. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm long) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the body length A(SCJ) is 194 mm. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it delivers 1767 N of push force, suiting it to clamping, pressing, and positioning tasks where the final stroke length must be dialled in during commissioning or changeover.

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.

Dial in the exact stroke end position during machine bring-up. The 50 mm adjustment range allows engineers to compensate for stack-up tolerances in tooling and fixtures without swapping cylinders.
Quickly adapt a pusher or stop cylinder to a new product size on a packaging or assembly line. Operators can adjust the stroke end stop in seconds to handle different box widths or pallet sizes.
As gripper pads, press tools, or brake linings wear down, the rear adjusting screw can be turned to extend the effective stroke, maintaining consistent contact pressure and cycle timing without mechanical rework.
Choose the SCJ50 when you need the 50 mm bore's force class—982 N push at 0.5 MPa—and the ability to fine-tune the stroke end. If your application requires a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC50 series is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. For higher force, step up to the SCJ63 bore, which provides 1559 N of push at the same pressure. The direct replacement match is another AirTAC SCJ adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 50 mm bore, 125 mm nominal stroke, a 50 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and basic mounting. For strokes of 125 mm, side-loading is generally low, but if the rod must push an unguided load, consider an external guide rail to prevent bending and premature seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N. The pull force is lower because the 20 mm piston rod reduces the effective piston area on the retract side.
Yes, if you need the adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ50X125-50 has the same 50 mm bore, PT1/4 ports, and basic mounting interface as the SC50. The body is slightly longer to house the adjusting screw, but the rod thread (M16x1.5) and cushion design are identical. Ensure the 50 mm adjustment range suits your process.
