The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X150-30S 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. Ø50mm bore, 150mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X150-30S is a 50 mm bore double-acting, single-rod cylinder with a 150 mm nominal stroke and a 30 mm field-adjustable range set by a rear-cap screw. With 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (1767 N at 0.9 MPa) and a 20 mm rod, it handles moderate clamping, pressing, and positioning tasks where the end-of-stroke needs fine-tuning during commissioning or format changes.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S), allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for contactless position feedback. The adjustable screw shortens the stroke end by up to 30 mm without changing the cylinder body, which measures 194 mm in length for the SCJ configuration. Its PT1/4 ports and M16x1.5 rod thread offer straightforward pneumatic connections.

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.

During machine setup, the 30 mm adjustment screw lets technicians dial in the exact end-stop position for a 50 mm bore actuator without swapping shims or hard stops, speeding up line start-up.
In repetitive pressing or clamping operations, the adjustable stroke can be periodically tweaked to compensate for tooling or pad wear, maintaining consistent contact force without replacing the cylinder.
On packaging or assembly lines running multiple product sizes, operators can quickly adjust the stroke end of this 150 mm nominal cylinder to match a new product dimension, reducing changeover time.
Choose the SCJ50X150-30S when your application needs a 50 mm bore force class (982 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the ability to dial in the stroke end precisely. If you need more force, step up to the 63 mm bore which delivers 1559 N push at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. If the stroke never needs adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC50X150 is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. This cylinder replaces any AirTAC SCJ50 with a 150 mm nominal stroke, a 30 mm adjust range, PT ports, and a magnet. For strokes of 300 mm or more, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 20 mm rod from side-load bending.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force is 1964 N. The pull force is lower because the 20 mm rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
Only if you do not need the adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ50X150-30S has a rear adjusting screw that shortens the stroke end by up to 30 mm. A fixed-stroke SC50X150 lacks this mechanism. For a direct replacement, you must match the bore, 150 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjust range, PT ports, and the built-in magnet.
