The AirTAC SDAJ32~40 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ40X40-40 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 0 to 40 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ40X40-40 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. An M12x1.25 screw lets you dial the forward end-position from 0 to 40 mm directly on your equipment, eliminating the need for shims or part swaps during changeovers.
Built with a short riveted body, this unit saves axial mounting depth where round-body or profile cylinders cannot fit. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches; adding an -S variant enables sensing.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm. SDAJ is a double-rod cylinder. Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDAJ datasheet.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
SDAJ is double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. Push is shown at the annular-area value (conservative), lower than a single-rod SDA push of the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction.

| ×40 | Maximum stroke length in mm. |

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (fixed stroke), SDAD (double rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Dial the extend stop from 0 to 40 mm during fixture swaps to accommodate varying part heights without machining new spacers.
Stepping down to an SDAJ32 yields 402.1 N, whereas stepping up to an SDAJ50 provides 981.7 N.
Choose this model if your fixture requires on-site stroke tuning across a 0-40 mm forward window. Confirm your setup needs a PT1/8 air port, a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and a 16 mm piston rod. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end and the adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, not a lock. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
Turning the M12x1.25 screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm, setting the stop without altering force. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take switches; choosing the -S option adds a magnet for reed or electronic sensing.
