The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ12~25 Adjustable Ultra-Thin Cylinder SDAJ25X85-100B 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 0 to 85 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ25X85-100B is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external M8x1.25 R screw that dials the extend stop from 0 to 85 mm directly on your machine. Because the adjuster sets the mechanical stop rather than the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. The short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth where a round-body or profile cylinder will not fit.
This specific SKU uses a male M8x1.25 piston rod thread and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot host reed or electronic switches without switching to the -S variant. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 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 0-85 mm extend stop to press pins to exact depths without fabricating new spacers, leveraging the 245.4 N push for reliable seating.
Turn the M8x1.25 R screw to reposition the male rod end for different product widths, cutting setup time on high-mix packaging lines.
Use the 0-85 mm adjustment window to find the optimal clamping location during prototyping before locking down the final mechanical stop.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, compare the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent options: stepping down to the SDAJ20 yields 157.1 N, while moving up to the SDAJ32 provides 402.1 N. Based on the 245.4 N figure, a safe working load is roughly 147 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this male-rod (-B) unit when your tooling requires an externally threaded M8x1.25 attachment point.
Engineers who frequently change tooling or need trial positioning will benefit from the 0-85 mm on-site extend tuning without shims or part swaps. Remember that a plain SDAJ does not hold position or load when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end and the R screw is a mechanical stop, not a lock. For load holding without live pressure, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your bore, 85 mm maximum stroke, 100 mm window, M5x0.8 port, and male rod thread before ordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M8x1.25 adjuster screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, allowing you to set the extend stop anywhere from 0 to 85 mm. Retract remains full stroke, and the screw acts as a mechanical stop, not a mid-stroke lock.
