The AirTAC SDAJ32~40 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ40X55-40B 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 15 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ40X55-40B is a compact double-acting cylinder with a male-thread piston rod (M14x1.5) and an external extend stop. An M12x1.25 adjuster screw lets you dial the outward stroke from 15 to 55 mm directly on the machine, avoiding part swaps during setup.
Its short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where round-body or profile cylinders will not fit. End shock is handled by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches.

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.

| 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.

Dial the 15-55 mm extend stop during fixture swaps to accommodate varying part heights without machining new spacers.
Set precise downward travel to fold flaps on varying box sizes, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end shock.
Choose this male-rod (M14x1.5) version if your tooling requires a threaded attachment point.
Engineers needing on-site stroke tuning for frequent changeovers will benefit from the 15-55 mm adjust window. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or valve centring—the piston drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end. For a held load, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your 40 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, 40 mm window, PT1/8 port, and lack of a magnet (no -S) for this configuration.
Quick checklist
The M12x1.25 screw shortens the extend stop by up to 40 mm, giving a usable 15-55 mm range. It acts only as a mechanical stop and does not lock the piston; for load holding without live pressure, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
