The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X500-100STC 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, 500mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The AirTAC SCJ50X500-100STC is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a field-adjustable stroke end, giving you a 100 mm fine-tuning range on the 500 mm nominal stroke. With a 50 mm bore, 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, using a 20 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/4 ports.
This model includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, for pivoting applications. The tie-rod construction and 21 mm air cushion ensure reliable deceleration, while the rear adjusting screw lets you dial in the exact stroke end position without swapping the cylinder.

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 100 mm adjustment screw allows operators to precisely set the final position of a tool or stop in a fixture, compensating for part tolerances or tool wear without reprogramming the machine.
On a packaging line, quickly adjust the stroke of a pusher arm to handle different box sizes. The rear screw makes the change in seconds, minimizing downtime between product runs.
During machine setup, the adjustable stroke lets engineers experimentally determine the optimal stroke length for a new process before locking it in, avoiding the need to stock multiple fixed-stroke cylinders.
Choose the SCJ50X500-100STC when your application needs a 500 mm reach with the ability to trim the stroke end by up to 100 mm during commissioning or changeovers. If you need more force, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. This adjustable-stroke unit is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SCJ of the same bore, nominal stroke, 100 mm adjust range, PT thread, TC mount, and magnet. For a 500 mm stroke, always check for side-loading on the rod; if the load is not perfectly guided, add an external guide rail or consider a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and seal wear.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
The push force is 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. The pull force is lower due to the single 20 mm rod, providing 825 N at 0.5 MPa. These are standard single-rod cylinder forces; the adjustable screw does not alter the force output.
Yes, if you need field adjustability. The SCJ50X500-100STC has the same bore, 500 mm maximum stroke, and mounting interface as an SC50X500, but its body is slightly longer to house the adjusting screw. It is a direct replacement only for another SCJ50 with a 100 mm adjust range, TC mount, and magnet sensor option.
