The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X85-20B 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 65 to 85 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ100X85-20B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. A M27x2.0 adjuster screw lets you dial the forward end-position anywhere between 65 and 85 mm directly on the machine, eliminating the need for shims or part swaps. 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 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This model uses a short riveted body to save axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. It includes a male M26x1.5 piston rod thread (option B) and a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host 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 65-85 mm extend stop on a heavy stamping press to accommodate varying material thicknesses without changing out hard stops.
Leverage the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to securely clamp heavy steel assemblies, using the male M26x1.5 rod for robust tooling attachment.
Lift loads up to roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, making fine adjustments to the extend position during initial fixture commissioning.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force requirements both ways. Stepping down to an SDAJ80 yields 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which may be insufficient for heavy loads, whereas this 100 mm option provides a robust 3927 N. If your application demands extreme force beyond the theoretical 801 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa, you would need to look outside the compact SDA family. This cylinder is ideal for operators who need on-machine stroke tuning during frequent changeovers. Confirm your requirements for a 100 mm bore, 85 mm maximum stroke, 20 mm adjust window, PT3/8 port, and the male M26x1.5 rod thread.
Keep in mind that a plain SDAJ does not hold position or carry load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end; it is not a lock or brake. For vertical or suspended loads requiring safety holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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.
The external M27x2.0 screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke from the 85 mm maximum down to 65 mm. It does not alter the cylinder's force output, and the retract stroke remains full length.
