The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X275-10 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, 275mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X275-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a rear-cap adjusting screw that lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 10 mm. This field-adjustable feature is ideal for commissioning trials or format changeovers where the exact stopping position needs to be dialled in on the machine. With a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm piston rod, it delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a capable mid-range actuator for clamping, pressing, and diverting tasks.
The tie-rod body measures 194 mm in length and uses PT1/4 ports with an M16x1.5 rod thread. Its air cushion decelerates the piston over the final 21 mm of travel, protecting the end cap from impact. This model ships in a basic configuration with a TPU seal, suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

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 adjustment lets technicians fine-tune the end-stop position during machine commissioning without swapping cylinders or machining external hard stops.
Use the adjustable stroke to perfectly align a diverter gate with different lane widths on a packaging conveyor, compensating for mechanical stack-up tolerances.
Over time, tooling or gripper pads can wear. The adjusting screw provides a quick way to advance the stroke end and maintain consistent clamping pressure without reprogramming the machine.
Step up to the 63 mm bore SCJ63X275-10 if you need more force—it provides 1559 N of push at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. For applications that do not require field adjustment of the stroke, the fixed-stroke SC50X275 is a simpler and more cost-effective alternative. If your load creates a significant side force, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder, as the 275 mm stroke on a 20 mm rod can be susceptible to bending under off-axis loads. This SCJ model is a direct dimensional replacement for another AirTAC SCJ50X275-10 with PT ports and basic mounting.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. The pull force is lower because the 20 mm piston rod reduces the effective piston area on the return stroke.
Yes, the SCJ50X275-10 shares the same bore, rod, and port dimensions as the fixed-stroke SC50. The body is slightly longer to accommodate the adjusting screw, so ensure you have clearance at the rear cap. The stroke is adjustable down from the nominal 275 mm by up to 10 mm.
