The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X450-20S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 20 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X450-20S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, letting you fine-tune the 450 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm without removing the cylinder. This model includes a built-in magnet, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a 20 mm rod and PT1/4 ports, it delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The 21 mm air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, and the body length A(SCJ) is 194 mm plus the 450 mm stroke, making it a compact solution for longer-travel applications that need adjustable end-position control.

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 20 mm adjusting screw allows operators to dial in the exact end-stop position for a 450 mm stroke without swapping cylinders or machining hard stops.
On packaging or assembly lines that switch between product sizes, the adjustable stroke lets you quickly reset the cylinder's end position to accommodate a new format.
In long-running automation, the screw can be advanced slightly to take up mechanical wear in the tooling or linkage, maintaining precise positioning over time.
Choose the SCJ50X450-20S when you need a mid-range force output with the flexibility to trim the stroke end during commissioning or format changes. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For applications that do not need stroke adjustability, the fixed-stroke SC50X450 is a direct alternative. This 450 mm stroke is within the standard range, but always check for side-loading on a rod this extended; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended if the load is not perfectly axial. A direct replacement must match the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust range, PT ports, and the integrated magnet.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N.
A rear-cap adjusting screw lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 20 mm. The 450 mm is the nominal maximum stroke, and the screw provides field-adjustable fine-tuning of the piston's stop position.
