The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X40-40 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 40 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X40-40 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you can dial the extend stroke on-site from 0 to 40 mm without changing parts. 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 bore, delivering 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This 100 mm bore actuator utilizes a short riveted body to minimize axial mounting depth where larger profile or round-body units fail to fit. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Please note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support 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 | 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 0-40 mm extend stop during initial setup to prevent over-travel when seating heavy bearings, utilizing the full 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Lift loads up to 200.2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin, relying on the short riveted body to save vertical space in tight elevator or shuttle mechanisms.
Quickly re-adjust the extend position for different product heights on the same machine without swapping cylinders, ensuring rapid changeover and minimal downtime.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements bidirectionally. Stepping down to the SDAJ80 provides 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. A computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N, representing about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure, making it suitable for vertical lifts up to roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Choose this model if your fixture requires precise on-site stroke tuning during commissioning or tooling changeovers. Confirm your parameters: 100 mm bore, 40 mm maximum stroke, 40 mm adjust window, PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet. Remember that a plain SDAJ does not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end. For secure load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8 N push and 4934.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, tolerates proof pressures up to 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The R (M27x2.0) screw mechanically shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm, allowing on-site tuning from 0 to 40 mm; retract remains full stroke. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches unless you specify the -S magnet option.
