The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X45-10 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 35 to 45 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X45-10 is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you shorten the forward stroke on-site, dialling the end position anywhere between 35 and 45 mm without swapping shims or components. Because the adjuster only sets the mechanical stop 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 unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning it is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. The short riveted body drastically saves axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder would fail to fit. Operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, it provides a robust solution for high-force positioning tasks.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 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.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SDA (fixed stroke), SDAD (double rod), SSA/STA (single acting), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Delivers 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa for forming operations, while the 10 mm extend window allows operators to fine-tune the bottom dead centre without re-machining tooling.
Raises payloads up to 200.2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin; the adjustable stop ensures the exact raise height is met, though an external check valve is needed to hold the load.
Fits into shallow machinery frames where axial depth is restricted, providing massive clamping force via the 32 mm rod and PT3/8 air supply.
When sizing this model, evaluate both neighbours: stepping down to an SDAJ80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. This extra thrust translates to a safe working load of roughly 2356 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 200.2 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this specific unit when your fixture requires maximum thrust but still needs minute on-machine stroke tuning during commissioning.
Confirm the bore, 45 mm maximum stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, and PT3/8 porting match your pneumatic manifold. Note that this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches; add the -S variant if your control system requires position sensing. Furthermore, a plain cylinder does not hold its load upon air loss or valve centring—the piston drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end. For suspended loads, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push and 3524.9 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 5497.8 N and pull to 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Turning the R (M27x2.0) screw mechanically shortens the extend stop, allowing you to set the forward end position anywhere between 35 and 45 mm. This screw acts only as a stop and does not alter force or lock the piston mid-stroke; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure.
