The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X55-30SB 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 25 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X55-30SB is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. A built-in piston magnet and male M26x1.5 rod thread come standard on this variant. The short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a round-body or profile cylinder will not fit, accepting standard AirTAC compact-cylinder accessories.
Turning the R (M27x2.0) adjuster screw dials the extend end-position anywhere between 25 and 55 mm without part changes. Because the adjuster sets the stop and not the area, force equals a standard SDA of this bore, delivering about 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. A fixed NBR bumper decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable air cushion.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 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 the 25-55 mm extend stop to position heavy stamping blanks accurately, leveraging the 3927 N push force for reliable placement.
Adjust the male M26x1.5 rod end on the fly to accommodate varying carton depths during production changeovers without swapping hardware.
Fine-tune the mechanical stop during trial positioning of heavy assemblies, letting the fixed NBR bumper absorb the end shock.
This 100 mm bore generates 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load around 2356 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity near 200.2 kg with a 2:1 margin. If your application requires less force, sizing down to the SDAJ80 provides 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Since 100 mm is the largest standard bore in this compact family, higher loads require parallel mounting or external shock absorbers.
Choose this model when your setup-heavy line needs on-machine stroke tuning across the 25-55 mm window. Confirm the PT3/8 port, 30 mm adjustment window, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or valve centring; the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For a held load without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it provides 5497.8 N push and 4934.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The R (M27x2.0) screw shortens the extend stop by up to 30 mm, giving a usable extend range of 25-55 mm; retract remains full stroke. The included -S magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
