The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X50-20B 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 30 to 50 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X50-20B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you shorten the forward stroke on-site across a 30 to 50 mm window without swapping shims or components. Because the adjuster dictates the mechanical stop rather than the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, yielding 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This variant features a male M26x1.5 piston rod thread and a PT3/8 air port. The short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth where larger profile or round-body units fail to fit. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Note this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so magnetic sensing is unsupported.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 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 30-50 mm extend position during machine commissioning to seat heavy bearings without over-traveling, leveraging the 3927 N push force.
Adjust the mechanical stop on-site for different product families on a shared line, avoiding part changes while maintaining robust clamping pressure.
Set precise lower endpoints for heavy vertical lifts. With a 2:1 safety margin, the cylinder can manage a vertical lift of roughly 200.2 kg.
When sizing this unit, evaluate both neighboring bores. Stepping down to the SDAJ80 provides 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N. If your application requires extreme force, stepping up to a larger custom bore is necessary, as 100 mm is the largest standard SDAJ offering. Choose this specific model when your machinery requires heavy push force combined with on-site extend length tuning between 30 and 50 mm.
Confirm the 50 mm maximum stroke, 20 mm adjust window, PT3/8 port, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread for your mounting interface. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s. A plain SDAJ does not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston drifts. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the end of travel and provides no locking function.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The R (M27x2.0) screw mechanically limits the extend stroke, allowing you to set the forward end position anywhere between 30 and 50 mm. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches; you must select the -S option code for sensing capabilities.
