The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X55-10S 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 SDAJ100X55-10S is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder engineered with an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M27x2.0) screw, you can precisely dial the extend position anywhere between 45 and 55 mm directly on your machine, eliminating the need for shims or part changes during setup. Retract remains full length, and the mechanism sets the mechanical stop without altering the pneumatic area.
Because the adjuster only limits travel, output force equals a standard 100 mm bore SDA, yielding 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. The short riveted body saves valuable axial mounting depth where larger profile cylinders cannot fit. This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, while fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the stroke ends.

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 45-55 mm extend stop on a 200.2 kg vertical lift fixture, using the R screw to fine-tune heavy pressing depths without swapping mechanical spacers.
Adapt a compact riveted body to tight machine frames, turning the external adjuster to shift the 3927 N extend endpoint during rapid product family changeovers.
Set exact flap tucking positions on the fly, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end shock while the magnetic switch confirms the adjusted stroke endpoint.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, evaluate your neighbors: stepping down to an SDAJ80 provides 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N. A computed safe working load is roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this specific model if your assembly line requires frequent onsite stroke tuning within that 45-55 mm window.
Confirm the bore, 55 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust window, PT3/8 port, and the female M18x1.5 rod-end thread. The -S code ensures switch readiness. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centered; the piston drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the 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 delivers 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 adjustable stop does not alter these force outputs.
The R (M27x2.0) screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, allowing you to set the endpoint anywhere between 45 and 55 mm on the machine. The built-in -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing, while the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end.
