The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X55-50 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 5 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X55-50 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. A M27x2.0 adjuster screw lets you dial the outward stroke on-site between 5 and 55 mm without changing parts. Because the mechanism limits travel rather than altering piston area, output matches a standard unit of this bore, providing 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This model utilizes a short riveted body to minimize 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 that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic sensing.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 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 5 to 55 mm extend stop to set precise insertion depth for heavy press fits, leveraging the 3927 N push force without swapping mechanical shims.
Adjust the outward stroke quickly on assembly lines handling multiple product variants, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the high kinetic energy of the 32 mm rod.
Set exact lifting heights for 200.2 kg vertical loads using the M27x2.0 adjuster, ensuring positive mechanical stops while maintaining a two-to-one safety margin.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, consider the SDAJ80 which yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter loads. Moving up from the 80 mm option, this 100 mm unit provides a safe working load around 2356 N, calculated as roughly 60 percent of its 3927 N capacity. It also handles a vertical lift of approximately 200.2 kg when applying a two-to-one safety margin.
Operators needing frequent on-machine stroke tuning during changeovers will benefit from the 50 mm adjustment window. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold position upon air loss or valve centering; 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 pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your requirements for the PT3/8 port, female M18x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 5497.8 N and pull to 4934.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Turning the external M27x2.0 screw shortens the extend stop by up to 50 mm, allowing the outward stroke to be set anywhere between 5 and 55 mm. The retract stroke remains full, and the adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop without altering the output force.
