The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X400-100 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, 400mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X400-100 delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa from its 50 mm bore, with a field-adjustable stroke end that can be shortened by up to 100 mm. This single-rod, double-acting cylinder uses a 20 mm diameter rod and PT1/4 ports, making it a versatile actuator for applications requiring on-machine fine-tuning.
With a body length A of 194 mm and a 21 mm air cushion at each end, this model provides smooth deceleration. The 400 mm nominal stroke is well within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore, ensuring ready availability without special order lead times.

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.

Quickly adjust the end stop for different product sizes on a packaging line without swapping the cylinder or adding mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the final clamp position to accommodate varying workpiece thicknesses in a glue press or assembly fixture.
Set the precise open position of a material diverter gate, compensating for mechanical wear or linkage slack over time.
Choose the SCJ50X400-100 when your application demands a 400 mm reach with the ability to dial back the stroke end position during commissioning or changeovers. If 982 N of push force is insufficient, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at the same pressure. For a fixed, non-adjustable stroke, the standard SC50X400 is the direct alternative. This basic model uses PT threads and has no magnet. For side-load management on a 400 mm stroke, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 1767 N.
Yes, if you need the 100 mm adjustment range. The SCJ50X400-100 matches the SC footprint for 50 mm bore and 400 mm stroke. Ensure your porting (PT1/4) and mounting style are compatible.
