The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ12~25 Adjustable Ultra-Thin Cylinder SDAJ25X100-40 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder (Ø25mm bore) whose extend end-position is set by an external M8×1.25 adjustment screw. You can dial the stroke anywhere from 60 to 100 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ25X100-40 is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external extend stop. An M8x1.25 adjuster screw lets you dial the outward travel anywhere between 60 and 100 mm directly on the machine, saving axial mounting depth where round-body units fail to fit. Because the mechanism only sets the mechanical stop position, output force remains identical to a standard 25 mm bore SDA, giving you 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This riveted-body actuator relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion or a mid-stroke lock. Operating speeds span 30 to 500 mm/s. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 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 | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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 the extend stop from 60 to 100 mm via the M8x1.25 screw to accommodate different package widths without machining new spacers.
Leverage the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa to probe optimal clamping depths on prototype parts before locking the final mechanical stop.
Lift up to 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin and fine-tune the downward extend endpoint to prevent crushing delicate components.
When sizing this unit, look both ways: stepping down to the SDAJ20 yields 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDAJ32 provides 402.1 N. This 25 mm bore strikes a middle ground, offering a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60 percent of its 245.4 N capacity) and a vertical lift capability near 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this model if your fixture requires frequent on-site stroke tuning during setup or product changeover.
Confirm your parameters: 25 mm bore, 100 mm maximum stroke, 40 mm adjustment window, M5x0.8 port, female M5x0.8 rod-end thread, and no magnet. Remember that a plain pneumatic cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost or the valve is centred—the piston drifts. For suspended or vertical loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Turning the R (M8x1.25) screw shortens the extend end position by up to 40 mm, giving a usable outward travel of 60 to 100 mm. The retract stroke remains full. This screw acts only as a mechanical stop and does not alter force.
