The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X450-50S is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 450mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X450-50S is a double-acting, single-rod cylinder with a rear adjusting screw that provides up to 50 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end control. This lets you fine-tune the stop position without swapping the cylinder, ideal for commissioning and format changes. The 50 mm bore delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, and the 20 mm rod provides robust guidance for mid-range automation tasks.
A built-in magnet is included, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The cylinder uses a PT1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 21 mm air cushion for smooth deceleration. With a body length of 194 mm plus stroke, it fits neatly into machines where adjustable positioning is a daily requirement.

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.

Engineers use the 50 mm adjustment screw to quickly dial in the exact stop position during machine commissioning, eliminating the need to fabricate shims or swap cylinders.
On a packaging line, operators adjust the stroke end to accommodate different box sizes without tools, reducing downtime between product runs.
In clamping or pressing fixtures, the adjustable stroke compensates for tooling wear over time, maintaining consistent clamp force without replacing the actuator.
Choose the SCJ50X450-50S when you need to dial in a precise stroke end on a 450 mm nominal cylinder. If your force needs are lower, the SCJ40 series offers 628 N push; for higher demands, the SCJ63 provides 1559 N. This model is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SCJ50X450-50S with a PT port and magnet. For fixed-stroke applications, consider the standard SC series. At this stroke length, ensure the rod is supported against side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended if the load is not perfectly axial.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
A screw in the rear cap lets you shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm from the nominal 450 mm. This sets a new mechanical stop for the piston, allowing fine-tuning without affecting the cylinder's bore or force output.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. The difference is due to the single-rod design, where the rod reduces the piston area on the return stroke.
