The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X100-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder (Ø100mm bore) whose extend end-position is set by an external M27×2.0 adjustment screw. You can dial the stroke anywhere from 0 to 100 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X100-100S is a robust double-acting single-rod actuator featuring a 100mm bore and an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you can dial the forward stroke anywhere from 0 to 100mm directly on the machine, eliminating the need for shims or part swaps during setup. Because the adjuster only sets the mechanical stop position rather than altering the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this size, delivering 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body saves valuable axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder would simply not fit. End-of-travel energy is managed by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the payload, though it is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. This specific unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S), allowing seamless integration with AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body sensor grooves.

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 | 3927 N | 3525 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 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 0-100mm extend stop during press tooling changeovers to accommodate varying material thicknesses without swapping out the entire actuator.
Leverage the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to securely seat heavy industrial components, relying on the mechanical stop rather than relying on pneumatic pressure alone.
Safely lift loads up to 200.2 kg with a 2:1 margin, adjusting the downward extend endpoint on the fly to meet varying pallet heights in compact assembly cells.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements bidirectionally. Stepping down to an SDAJ80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which may be insufficient for heavy displacement tasks, whereas this 100mm bore provides a robust 3927 N. Since there is no larger standard compact option, moving up in force would require a different body architecture. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, the computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N (about 60 percent of capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Operators who require frequent on-site stroke tuning for changeovers will benefit from the 0-100mm adjustment window. Remember that a plain actuator does not hold position upon air loss or valve centring; the piston drifts, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel. For load holding without live pressure, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your bore, 100mm stroke, 100mm window, PT3/8 port, -S magnet, and female M18x1.5 rod-end thread before ordering.
Quick checklist
This 100mm bore cylinder features a PT3/8 air port and generates 3927 N push / 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push / 4934.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external R (M27x2.0) screw mechanically limits the extend stroke, allowing you to set the end position anywhere between 0 and 100mm; it does not alter the force or lock mid-stroke. The -S option denotes a built-in piston magnet designed to trigger AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches.
