The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X55-10B 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 45 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X55-10B is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you can dial the forward stroke down by up to 10 mm on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 45 to 55 mm without swapping shims or parts. Because the adjuster only sets the mechanical stop and not the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering about 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This 100 mm bore unit provides massive thrust in a short riveted body that saves axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. It uses a PT3/8 air port and a male-thread piston rod (M26x1.5) for robust tooling attachment. End shock is handled by a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

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.

Dial in the exact 45-55 mm extension on the factory floor to seat large bearings without over-traveling, leveraging the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Quickly adapt the forward stop for different jig heights during product line changeovers, avoiding the need to physically swap out the entire cylinder body.
Set a precise upper limit for heavy vertical lifting tasks, providing a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) with a 2:1 safety margin.
When sizing this model, evaluate both neighbours. Stepping down to the SDAJ80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which may be insufficient for heavy pressing, whereas this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. For even higher demands, a larger custom bore would be required, as 100 mm is the largest standard SDAJ diameter. This specific unit is built for operators needing on-site stroke tuning during setup or tool changeovers, offering a 45-55 mm forward range.
Remember that a plain SDAJ does not hold position or load when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel, and the R screw is a mechanical stop, not a lock. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your requirements for the 100 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, 10 mm window, PT3/8 port, male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet before ordering.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a PT3/8 air port. It generates 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 of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The R (M27x2.0) screw mechanically shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a 45-55 mm range without changing the output force. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept reed or electronic switches; you would need the -S variant for sensing.
