The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X225-10 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 10 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 225mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X225-10 delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 825 N on the pull stroke, driven by a 20 mm piston rod through a PT1/4 port. Its rear-cap adjusting screw provides a 10 mm field-adjustable range, letting you dial in the exact stroke end position without removing the cylinder from the machine.
A 21 mm air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the tie-rod construction keeps the 194 mm body length (A dimension) rigid across the full 225 mm nominal stroke. The single-rod design means push force is always higher than pull force, suiting it to clamping and pressing tasks where the work stroke needs precise end-point tuning.

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 10 mm rear screw lets commissioning engineers dial in the exact retract stop on a clamping fixture without shimming or swapping cylinders, saving hours during line setup.
On a pressing station where tooling wears gradually, the adjustable stroke end takes up the slack in 1 mm increments, keeping the press depth consistent across thousands of cycles.
When a packaging machine switches between product sizes, the operator can quickly reset the cylinder stroke end to match the new box dimension without mechanical rework.
Choose this 50 mm bore when the 40 mm bore's 628 N push at 0.5 MPa is too light but a 63 mm unit (1559 N push) would waste air. The 10 mm adjust range is ideal for fine commissioning tweaks or wear take-up on a fixed stop. If you need a fixed stroke without the rear screw, step across to the standard SC series.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 225 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjust range, PT1/4 port thread, and basic mounting. At 225 mm stroke, side-load is generally low, but if the rod sees any off-axis force, add an external guide rail to protect the rod bearing and seal.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa it generates 982 N pushing and 825 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 1767 N. The pull force is lower because the 20 mm rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
Yes, it is a direct form-and-function replacement for any AirTAC SCJ50 with a 225 mm nominal stroke and 10 mm adjust range. Confirm your port thread is PT1/4, mounting is basic, and that you do not need a magnet. If your old unit has a -S suffix, order the magnet-equipped version.
