The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X175-100S 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, 175mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X175-100S is a 50 mm bore double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, offering a nominal maximum stroke of 175 mm and a generous 100 mm adjustment range via the rear-cap screw. This model delivers a push force of 982 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a robust actuator for mid-range industrial tasks where the end position needs fine-tuning during commissioning or changeovers.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix), this cylinder is ready for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. It features a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 male thread, PT1/4 ports, and a 21 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration, all within a tie-rod body that has a base length of 194 mm.

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 100 mm adjustment range allows engineers to precisely dial in the actuator's end-stop on a new machine without fabricating custom mechanical stops, drastically reducing setup time.
Ideal for packaging lines where the push or eject stroke length must be quickly altered for different product sizes. The rear screw makes the changeover a simple manual adjustment, not a cylinder swap.
In clamping or pressing fixtures, the adjustable stroke can be periodically extended to compensate for wear on tooling or contact surfaces, maintaining consistent process force and position over time.
Select the SCJ50X175-100S when you need a 50 mm bore actuator with a long 100 mm field-adjustable stroke range for fine-tuning the end position. If the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the SCJ63 bore provides 1559 N, while a step down to the SCJ40 bore offers 628 N. For applications requiring a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC series is a more economical alternative.
This model is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ50X175-100S cylinder with a magnet, PT ports, and basic mounting. With a 175 mm stroke, ensure the piston rod is adequately supported against side loads; if the application involves significant lateral force, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder assembly to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 982 N, and the pull force on the rod side is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N. These values are identical to a fixed-stroke SC50 cylinder.
Yes, the rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the stroke end by any amount up to 100 mm from the nominal 175 mm maximum. It sets the physical end-stop position and does not control air pressure or speed. The minimum achievable stroke for this model is 75 mm.
