The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X700-50 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, 700mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X700-50 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications requiring a long 700 mm nominal stroke with 50 mm of field-adjustable stroke-end control. Its 50 mm bore generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, providing substantial force for mid-range automation tasks.
A rear-cap adjusting screw allows operators to shorten the stroke end by up to 50 mm without removing the cylinder, making it ideal for commissioning, wear compensation, or format changeovers on long-stroke machinery. The cylinder uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/4 ports, and an M16x1.5 rod thread, with an overall body length of 194 mm plus the 700 mm stroke.

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.
Adjust the 50 mm screw to fine-tune the stopping point for large panels or sheets on a conveyor, ensuring precise alignment without reprogramming sensors.
Dial in the exact 700 mm stroke end during machine setup and easily compensate for gripper pad wear or mechanical slack over time without replacing the cylinder.
Quickly adapt the actuator's reach for different product sizes on a packaging line by adjusting the rear screw, reducing downtime between production runs.
Select the SCJ50X700-50 when you need a robust 50 mm bore actuator with a long reach and the ability to dial in the exact end position. If the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N; for a lighter, more compact solution, the 40 mm bore delivers 628 N. For applications where the stroke length will never need adjustment, the fixed-stroke SC50X700 is a simpler alternative.
At a 700 mm stroke, be mindful of side-loading on the 20 mm rod. If the load is not perfectly guided, consider adding an external guide rail or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. This model is a direct replacement for an existing AirTAC SCJ50X700-50 with PT ports and basic mounting.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
The push force is 982 N at 0.5 MPa and 1767 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pull force is lower due to the single-rod design, providing 825 N at 0.5 MPa.
No, as a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold its position when air is exhausted. The piston can drift or drop. If load holding is required, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
