The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ100X85-20S 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 SDAJ100X85-20S is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external R (M27x2.0) adjuster screw. Turning this screw lets you dial the extend stop on-site between 65 and 85 mm without swapping shims or parts. The short riveted body saves valuable axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder simply will not fit. Force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, because the adjuster sets the mechanical stop rather than altering the piston area.
This 100 mm bore unit uses a PT3/8 air port and a 32 mm piston rod. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet, the unit supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise position sensing.

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 the factory floor to apply precise 3927 N clamping force without re-machining tooling plates.
Lift loads up to 200.2 kg with a 2:1 margin, using the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end shock while the R screw sets the exact lower stop.
Quickly adjust the extend position by up to 20 mm between different product runs, saving axial space in compact assembly cells.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Dropping down to the SDAJ80 bore yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. A computed safe working load is approximately 2356 N, representing about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push figure, which allows a 2:1 safety margin for vertical lifts up to roughly 200.2 kg.
This model is ideal for heavy setups requiring frequent on-machine stroke tuning during changeovers. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centred; the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates near the end. For secure load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your bore, 85 mm stroke, 20 mm window, PT3/8 port, female rod thread, and the built-in magnet.
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 force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The M27x2.0 adjuster screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a usable range of 65 to 85 mm. The included magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
