The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDAJ Special Cylinder B01-SDAJ40X40-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder (Ø40mm bore) whose extend end-position is set by an external M12×1.25 adjustment screw. You can dial the stroke anywhere from 30 to 40 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The B01-SDAJ40X40-10 is a double-acting compact cylinder where the B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDAJ40X40-10. Mechanically, it retains all base specifications, offering a 40 mm bore and a short riveted body that saves axial mounting depth in tight tooling spaces. An external M12x1.25 adjustment screw lets you dial the extend stop directly on the machine between 30 and 40 mm without shims or part changes.
Because the adjuster sets the mechanical stop rather than the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this size, delivering about 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S option.

| Cushion | Fixed NBR bumper (both ends) |
The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm. Force is unchanged from a standard SDA of the same bore. Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDAJ datasheet.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Force matches a standard SDA of the same bore; the adjuster only sets the stop position, not the area. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction.

Dial in the exact 30-40 mm extend stop during initial fixture setup to precisely position a 32 kg workpiece without swapping shims.
Quickly re-tune the extend position on a packaging line running varied product heights, leveraging the 628.3 N push to seat components firmly.
Use the external M12x1.25 screw to find the optimal reach for a testing probe, then lock the mechanical stop for repeatable cycles.
When sizing this unit, evaluate both neighboring bores: the SDAJ32 provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the SDAJ50 offers 981.7 N. This 40 mm bore yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating) and can vertically lift approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this model when your fixture requires precise on-site extend tuning within that 30-40 mm window.
Confirm your parameters: 40 mm bore, 40 mm maximum stroke, 10 mm adjust window, PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread on a 16 mm rod. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end and the adjuster acts as a stop, not a lock. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The B01- prefix simply marks it as an application-dedicated variant of the SDAJ40X40-10, mechanically identical to the base model.
Turning the R (M12x1.25) screw mechanically shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, allowing you to set the end position anywhere between 30 and 40 mm on the machine. This SKU has no piston magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch; you must select the -S variant to use reed or electronic sensors.
