The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X55-20B 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 35 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X55-20B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. Turning the R (M27x2.0) screw lets you dial the outward stroke anywhere between 35 and 55 mm directly on your machine, eliminating the need for shims or part swaps. Because the adjuster only sets the mechanical stop position, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This model uses a short riveted body to save axial mounting depth where a round-body or profile cylinder will not fit. It features a male-thread piston rod (M26x1.5) and a PT3/8 air port. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that 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 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 35-55 mm extend stop during setup to apply exactly 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa without over-traveling delicate bearings.
Turn the M27x2.0 adjuster screw on the fly to accommodate varying workpiece heights on a single fixture, avoiding part changes.
Lift loads up to 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin and fine-tune the downward extend position to prevent hard bottoming.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, compare its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent options. Stepping down to the SDAJ80 yields 2513.3 N, whereas this 100 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200.2 kg with a 2:1 margin. Choose this model if your fixture requires heavy push force combined with on-site stroke tuning to perfect a press or clamping position.
Confirm your requirements against these specs: 100 mm bore, 55 mm maximum stroke, 20 mm adjustment window, PT3/8 port, and a male M26x1.5 rod thread. 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. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 5497.8 N push and 4934.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external R (M27x2.0) screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke from the 55 mm maximum down to 35 mm. It sets the end position without changing the force, and it is not a mid-stroke lock.
